Quarterback Patrick Mahomes arrived at training camp Tuesday with the understanding that he and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates need to be better in 2023 if they want to repeat as Super Bowl champions.
"I think the theme this year is how can we keep building," said Mahomes, who reported for camp at Missouri Western State University on Tuesday along with the team's quarterbacks and rookies.
Mahomes earned Most Valuable Player honors last season and captured his second Lombardi Trophy.
"Obviously we won the Super Bowl last year and it was amazing but we still have a lot of young guys. We want to continue to get better and better. You look around AFC everybody's gotten better."
If the Chiefs hope to improve, much of the challenge falls on Mahomes. Following the offseason departure of free agent receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman, it's up to Mahomes to build connections with a group of young receivers including Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore and this year's second-round selection Rashee Rice.
The good thing, according to head coach Andy Reid, is how much Mahomes relishes challenges.
"With quarterbacks, the work's never done," Reid said. "It's like being a farmer, and you just keep on cranking. We're always trying to give him new challenges with things and he loves that, and loves to attack those types of things."
