ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — From virtually the moment Chiefs coach Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes met in the winter of 2017, a nearly mystical wavelength emerged between them.
Mahomes’ co-representative Leigh Steinberg once told me “all the stars aligned” for the pre-draft visit that lasted some eight hours with Reid and then-co-offensive coordinators Matt Nagy and Brad Childress.
Those stars have remained the same ever since.
