More specifically, questions surrounding superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes' blindside protection (or lack thereof) linger. Left tackle has been a glaring hole for the Chiefs since Donovan Smith's contract expired following his lone season with the team in 2023.

The Kansas City Chiefs have been sitting atop the NFL over the past several seasons, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid. Kansas City has made their way to three straight Super Bowls, having won two of the last three title games.

The Chiefs emphasized incorporating big pass plays last year at this time as well, but they rarely materialized in the regular season.
