If the Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes are looking for reasons to be motivated in 2022, they don’t have to look very hard.

A pair of former Chiefs receivers have, in praising their new quarterbacks, thrown a jab or two at Mahomes, already one of the very best quarterbacks the game has ever seen.

First, it was Tyreek Hill, with the cartoonish suggestion that Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa throws the ball more accurately than Mahomes. More recently, Sammy Watkins heaped heavy praise on his new quarterback in comparison to Mahome.
