Kansas City Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill already has extra landing catches this season (13) than at any level throughout his profession. However he did not at all times believe within the man throwing him the ball.
In an interview with Showtime’s “Contained in the NFL” that aired Tuesday, Hill made it clear he did not assume a lot of then-rookie quarterback Patrick Mahomes throughout Mahomes’ first coaching camp.
“I assumed he was trash,” Hill advised Showtime. “I ain’t gonna cap.
“I used to be like, ‘that is who y’all drafted?'”
.@cheetah admits he thought @PatrickMahomes was 🗑 the primary time he noticed him play in @chiefs coaching camp 😂

Since that first impression, Mahomes has thrown for 12,909 yards with 106 touchdowns. Hill has been the most important beneficiary, having led the Chiefs’ extensive receivers in yards and touchdowns every season that Mahomes has been the starter. This season Hill has 1,021 yards and 13 touchdowns in 11 video games performed already.
