While there have been detractors, there’s one man who is very much looking forward to playing alongside Gordon in the NFL. That man is the Chiefs’ quarterback superstar, Patrick Mahomes.

“Everywhere he’s been, he’s kind of dominated. He can make plays in one-on-one coverage. He’s a big receiver. Even if he’s covered, he’s not covered. You can kind of throw it up there and he can make plays.”

“I’m sure they’ll incorporate him with a couple roles in the offense as the season goes on, as we get him up to speed, and we’ll see where that takes us. He’ll have his role. He’s a great football player, but in this offense everybody gets a chance to make plays.”

Despite the excitement, Reid believes it’ll take a while for Josh Gordon to enter the line-up. For now, Mahomes and Reid will depend on the services of the #1 wide receiver, Tyreek Hill.

“It’s going to take a while. He’s probably not going to play this week. We’ll just see how it goes over the next week or two.”
