'Back at it' — Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes kicks off annual offseason throwing sessions with nearly a dozen teammates

His "back at it" caption with the clock emoji should read like Shang Tsung's "It Has Begun!" in the 1995 iteration of "Mortal Kombat." No. 15 is surely out for blood after the disappointing end to the 2024 NFL season in Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is throwing with nearly a dozen teammates

While not explicitly stated, Mahomes and company are presumably in Texas. 

In the brief clip Mahomes shared to his Instagram, you can see his private QB coach, Jeff Christensen, close behind him. Mahomes is seen throwing a pass to second-year Chiefs TE Robert Tonyan.

Preston Smith, one of the regular photo and video gurus capturing Mahomes' offseason workouts, shared a larger cut-up of throws on his Instagram page. This video features Kenny Loggins's "Playing with the Boys" from the Top Gun soundtrack. It shows a larger crew, including quarterbacks Gardner Minshew, Bailey Zappe, and Chris Oladokun. Jared Wiley, Noah Gray, Hollywood Brown, Skyy Moore, Nikko Remigio, and Justyn Ross are the pass catchers in attendance. 

Wiley's presence is undoubtedly promising, given that he suffered an ACL injury during practice in early November. That should bode well for his rehab and recovery for 2025.

As for the other guys in attendance, this experience is an opportunity to bond with your teammates and develop timing and chemistry that will be the foundation for quarterbacks and pass-catchers during the 2025 NFL season.
