In the 2024 offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs addressed their need for speed on offense by signing Marquise Brown in free agency and drafting Xavier Worthy. General manager Brett Veach appears to have provided solutions to the team’s offensive struggles, at least on paper.

During recent organized team activities, there’s been a noticeable increase in confidence in the deep passing game. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and cornerback Trent McDuffie spoke to reporters about the team’s renewed focus on explosive plays.

Mahomes emphasized the importance of incorporating deep passes back into their offensive strategy, highlighting Coach Andy Reid’s push for a more aggressive approach. Despite facing a formidable defense in practice, Mahomes stressed their determination to make it work.

McDuffie echoed Mahomes’ sentiments, noting the frequency with which Mahomes is targeting deep passes in practice sessions.

Last season, the Chiefs’ offense was criticized for being stagnant, and there were concerns about Mahomes’ confidence in his teammates at times. However, this offseason, Mahomes and the offense are determined to change that perception, evident in their early practices.
