Mahomes won't learn much that he already knew sitting on the bench 8 weeks in 2018. This is what we know:
-he was thoroughly tested as a prospect and passed the mental aspect on his private visit. Reid even said they "threw the kitchen sink at him".
-Mahomes read blitzes and has a basic understanding of reading the LOS pre-snap.
-Mahomes used long verbiage for plays at TTU.
-Mahomes has been lauded as a smart kid and his all academic record in college shows that he's not only bright, but responsible too.
-he is working his ass off every day to learn the playbook.
It's made crystal clear that OTA's were all about starting the playbook and having Mahomes improve his technique and mechanics for camp/preseason.
The moves we've made point to them wanting Mahomes being the guy next year, but if Andy doesn't feel that way, I'll gladly take his word for it.
I still think that camp and preseason will show us exactly where he is. If he he's solid throughout July and August, I think that will be huge for his development.
