JuJu Smith-Schuster: Patrick Mahomes threw a no-look pass, and I was just like, "Wow." Smith-Schuster has joined the Chiefs with hopes of trying to replace the production of former receiver Tyreek Hill, who was traded to the Miami Dolphins in the offseason. The 25-year-old was drafted by the Steelers in 2017 and made an instant impact with the team.

Will Patrick Mahomes get the Chiefs back to the Super Bowl in 2022

Patrick Mahomes will hope to lead the Kansas City Chiefs back to the Super Bowl The 2022 iteration of the Kansas City Chiefs will look a bit different than it did in 2021. The primary reason for that is that the team will now be without Hill, a former All-Pro receiver that the team drafted out of West Alabama in the 2016 NFL Draft.

This type of coverage opened up the middle of the field for future Hall of Fame tight end Travis Kelce and others. But now, with Hill gone, can Patrick Mahomes find a way to keep the offense on track? The Chiefs have added Smith-Schuster as well as Marquez Valdes-Scantling from the Green Bay Packers this offseason. The 2022 NFL Draft also saw the team select receiver Christian Watson in the second round out of North Dakota State University. Watson, at 6'5" and 208 pounds also runs a 4.36 40-yard dash. His speed makes him a candidate to help stretch the defense in place of Hill. Watson's height gives Patrick Mahomes a receiver that has a large catch radius on contested catches. Coach Reid is a mastermind on the offensive side of the ball, so he will also look to keep the ship afloat and remain productive by putting up points. Stay tuned to see if the Chiefs can get back to the top without the player affectionately known as "The Cheetah" on their team. NFL Injuries: Find out about ?
