It’s been a fun week for Chiefs fans, and the 2024 NFL season doesn’t even start for another month and a half.

That’s because quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been making some amazing throws at Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph. That deep ball to Xavier Worthy you likely saw quickly went viral on Monday, but he’s had some other fantastic passes, too.

A Mahomes no-look pass is always a fan favorite, and he broke that out with this throw to wide receiver Nikko Remigio.

Mahomes also brought back an annual camp favorite: the behind-the-back pass. Could we see this in a game? Mahomes has said coach Andy Reid wants to run it in the regular season.

Don’t think for a minute that Mahomes is only throwing these unusual passes at camp. There have been many more traditional throws. For example, he showed off his arm with a bomb to receiver Rashee Rice. This was a great pass.
