“When we did get Jaxson, the first meetings were a blend of those two things that [Kafka] did with Pat, what [Daboll] did with Josh,” Tierney said. “And what are the best ways to implement it now.”
Kafka told ESPN that Mahomes benefited greatly from observing Smith and that it was way more than just watching him on the field.
