Kingsbury Isn’t Only Potential Chiefs OC With Mahomes History | Sports Illustrated
But none of them have known Patrick Mahomes longer than Kliff Kingsbury. And only Kingsbury has known Mahomes longer than Davis Webb.
When Kingsbury offered Mahomes a scholarship to Texas Tech, the team’s quarterbacks were Webb and Baker Mayfield. All four of them took very different paths to the NFL but either Kingsbury or Webb could soon write a new career chapter in Kansas City.
And if it’s Webb, what a story that would make.
Webb, who turns 31 later this month, already has completed head-coach interviews with the Ravens and Raiders, who reportedly thought he was phenomenal. Whether those teams wait until the Broncos’ quarterbacks coach finishes his postseason run – possibly as late as the Super Bowl on Feb. 8 – depends on how phenomenal.

Patrick Mahomes was sacked 34 times (12th most) in 14 games. Only three more, and Patrick would have been sacked the most in his career.
On the surface, that doesn’t seem like a big deal, but if we dive into the numbers, we see exactly how bad Patrick’s protection was.

Pitts has been a source of frustration for his previous franchise due to his inability to match a rookie season where he surpassed 1,000 receiving yards and appeared to be on the path to stardom. The next three seasons, Pitts dealt with injuries and underwhelming production, which led to his effort being questioned. This ended in the 2025 season with the pass catcher piling up 928 receiving yards and five touchdowns despite playing in a questionable Atlanta Falcons offense.
Quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins both dealt with struggles and limited the production of the tight end. Now, Pitts is set to hit free agency and would be the perfect addition for the Chiefs. Mahomes is going to have no problem taking advantage of the mismatches that Pitts’ 6’6″ frame naturally creates.
Whether or not Travis Kelce opts to return, the Chiefs need an upgrade at the position, and Pitts offers Kansas City that chance. It is fun to imagine what heights the tight end might reach within Andy Reid’s offense, playing with by far the most talented group of his...
