Kansas City Chiefs OL Trey Smith opens up about Patrick Mahomes' locker room impact
Kansas City Chiefs OL Trey Smith opens up about Patrick Mahomes' locker room impact During a recent interview with the 'New Rory and Mal' podcast, Kansas City Chiefs offensive guard Trey Smith discussed how unique a player Patrick Mahomes is, which stretches beyond his performances on the field during games. "Honestly, the stuff that you guys don't see in practice will blow your mind the most, nonchalant around the back, under the leg," said Smith, "just crazy stuff that he does that's just like, when you rewind it, you're like 'man, he really did just throw that perfectly." Since becoming the full-time starting quarterback, Mahomes has earned a reputation for gifting his offensive line during the season. Smith revealed some of his favorite gifts from the two-time league MVP. "There are probably not enough good things I could say about Pat," said Smith. One thing I could say is that he gifted me one of the most valuable possessions: two Rolex watches. He got us a golf cart, a fully tricked-out club cart, all new golf clubs, and Oakley sunglasses. The list goes on and on and on." Smith is working with the front office on a new potential contract extension to keep the Pro Bowler in Kansas City. The offseason is in full swing, and fans will follow the negotiation updates closely.

Chiefs' 'Toughest' Game In 2025 Sees Rivalry Renewed
The Kansas City Chiefs will have a long way to go to get back to the top of the AFC mountain in 2025, with the consensus being the defending conference champs might be there to be had. But they still do have Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. Advertisement With the NFL set to release the 2025 schedule this week, many are looking ahead to see where their teams are playing and who, and for the Chiefs, there are a host of tough matchups. But there's one that Pro Football Network sees as the Chiefs' toughest game, and it sees their rivalry with the Buffalo Bills reignite with Kansas City again having to travel to Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, the scene of their playoff triumph last season. "The Bills don't fear the Chiefs, but they haven't been able to beat them under the brightest of lights in the postseason," Pro Football Network writes. "However, Buffalo is actually 4-3 in their past seven games against Kansas City, making a trip to Upstate New York the most difficult game for the Chiefs entering the 2025 regular season." Kansas City Chiefs guard Trey Smith (65) blocks Buffalo Bills defensive end Greg Rousseau (50) in pursuit of quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15). Mark Konezny-Imagn Images It is an odd dynamic that the Chiefs and Bills have. Advertisement Kansas City has beaten Buffalo the last four times in the playoffs, but in what is a wacky stat, the Bills have beaten the Chiefs the last four times they've played in the regular season. Go figure. So the Chiefs will get a chance to slay the Bills, and do so for the first time in the regular season since 2020, with Buffalo able to get the better of Mahomes and Reid time and time again. Will it be the "toughest" game on the schedule? There's every chance it just might be.
