There are a lot of skeptics of the Kansas City Chiefs offense in the post-Tyreek Hill era, but new safety Justin Reid is not one of them.
Appearing on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” on Wednesday morning, Reid gave a staggering endorsement of the team’s new-look offense. He’s only seen them work in non-contact, padless practices, but he seems supremely confident in the team’s ability to put up points in 2022.
“Pay attention to this. The Chiefs offense is going to do what we always do. We’re going to come out, we’re going to put up 100 points,” Reid said, via NFL.com. “We have the greatest football quarterback in the game. The top-three, in no particular order, although I’m sure you guys can guess who is my number one: Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers. And when you have a quarterback, and you have an offensive system — a coordinator that is able to just mix things up all the time — you’re always going to put up points.
“We’re going to combine that with great football across the board. Complimentary offense, defense, special teams, and we’re going to go out and win games. We’re in the toughest division in the NFL, that’s no secret. It’s gonna be fireworks every time anybody plays and you’re gonna want to watch that.”
There’s some clear hyperbole there, but the confidence with which Reid delivered his endorsement was telling that he believes every word of it. Only having been a member of the team for a few short months, Reid already has complete faith in his quarterback, coaching staff and the culture in Kansas City. He’s played against the Chiefs before (notably in the 2019 playoffs) and he knows exactly how tough that offense can be at its height. That should do plenty to get fans excited for things to come in the future.
