Mahomes and Smith probably talked about this stuff, but if anything, Mahomes probably helped Alex with this more than the vet teaching the rookie. I base this off the career year and let it fly attitude Smith finally showed last season after the Chiefs drafted Mahomes. Smith even said as much. Somewhere there is a video of a quote from Smith, saying Mahomes is a lot further along mentally than he was coming out of college. Finally, Mahomes grew up around pro-athletes and in a locker room. Mahomes background and childhoold I think translates into probably one his most underrated attributes.
