Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes spent most of the day on the sidelines at the 2022 Pro Bowl. As a result, NFL Films captured some great audio between Mahomes and Las Vegas Raiders DE Maxx Crosby. The AFC West foe found himself wondering what Chiefs HC Andy Reid was like to play for.
“What’s Andy Reid like,” Crosby asked, “Is he chill?”
Mahomes offered up a hilarious description of what it’s like to play for Reid.
“He’s super cool,” Mahomes said. “I mean, yeah. It’s almost like your uncle, you know what I mean? He’s like cool, cool, cool, but you like — don’t disappoint him because he’ll get mad at you. But he’s going to give you your freedom to do what you want to do.”
So Reid is the cool uncle as a head coach, I wonder what that makes the rest of the members of the coaching staff? Crosby seemed to understand exactly the type of coach that Reid is.
“You just can’t take advantage,” Crosby said.
“Yeah, exactly,” Mahomes responded.
Afterward, the two spoke about Tennessee Titans HC Mike Vrabel, who coached the AFC at the Pro Bowl.
“I bet (Mike) Vrabel would be an awesome coach,” Mahomes explained.
“Oh yeah, oh yeah,” Crosby agreed.
“He’s like, he was a player so he understands,” Mahomes continued. “But he’s going to make sure you get your shit done.”
Astute assessments on Mahomes’ part for both Reid and Vrabel.
