BR Article: Mahomes Has #1 Supporting Cast in NFL

[Couch-Potato]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...r-2018#slide32

The only other quarterback besides Brees with three 2017 Pro Bowlers in his arsenal? Kansas City Chiefs prodigy Patrick Mahomes II, who will enter his first full season as the team's starter with one Pro Bowler at all three supporting offensive skill positions.

It starts with running back Kareem Hunt, who led the league with 1,327 rushing yards while scoring eight times as a rookie third-round pick in 2017.

Then there's wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who has emerged as one of the most dangerous and versatile offensive weapons in the league and is coming off a season in which he and Smith-Schuster were the only qualified players in the league to average more than 15 yards per reception and catch more than 70 percent of the passes thrown their way.

Then there's tight end Travis Kelce, who is coming off a third straight Pro Bowl nod, a second consecutive 1,000-plus-yard campaign and the fourth straight season in which he's caught at least 68 percent of the passes thrown his way. The 28-year-old also scored eight touchdowns, bringing that trio's total to 26.

Hunt is just 22, Hill 24. Kelce's in his prime. And they'll be even better supported in 2018 after the front office spent big on 25-year-old former 1,000-yard receiver Sammy Watkins, who scored eight touchdowns with the Rams in 2017.

Throw in that the underrated Chris Conley—who's caught 65 percent of the passes thrown his way the last two years—should be good to go after missing all but five games because of an Achilles injury in 2017, and you have the best all-around supporting cast in the NFL.

Have fun, Pat.

It pisses me off we couldn't step on Titans dicks and put them away because Alex Smith can't put points on the board. Let's ****ing Marcus Mariota ****ing us without protection Aids.

It's all on paper for now. We will soon see if this translates to the field. For all of this to culminate on the field our o-line needs to take it to the next level IMHO.

Sammy Watkins is probably the biggest most overrated player in the nfl. He’s topped 1,000 yards only once and sure he had 8 tds last year but he also only had 500 yards so he’s really not worth the huge payday. If anything, this team will regress heavily and they’ll soon realize how much smith meant to he team."

That's the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

I HAD to go find that comment. The guy looks like a clown, and he's not even a Chiefs fan. IMPOSTER. He's a Chargers "fan".

I've always thought Demetrius Stone Hands Harris could be a great #2 TE for us if he could just cut it out a bit with the easy dropped passes. The guy is huge and has great athletic ability for a guy that's 6'7" 230 lbs.

Yep. Harris would be really good if he could catch the ball.

Have fun, Pat...

...with your head coach who leaves most people scratching their heads with his (or is it the offensive coordinator's??) play-calling and horrifying clock management skills.

The sad thing is that the person who wrote this is likely to vote and to reproduce.
