Patrick Mahomes believes the Chiefs have a tough but good problem heading into this year's training camp

The Kansas City Chiefs' wide receiver corps has been very underwhelming over the past few years.

Ever since Tyreek Hill was traded to the Miami Dolphins following the 2021 season, the Chiefs have gone with a bit of a WR by committee approach within their offense. There have been some individual standouts at times, such as JuJu Smith-Schuster, Rashee Rice, and Xavier Worthy, but whether it be because of injuries or inexperience, the success hasn't been sustained.

The Chiefs are hoping that will change in 2025. They will begin training camp in a few weeks with plenty of talent in the WR room, and perhaps most importantly, everybody is entering healthy. While appearing on "Up & Adams" on Monday, quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed his excitement for the potential his passing attack could have this season.

"It's going to come from everywhere," Mahomes said." We've got Rashee back, he looks great. [We have] Xavier Worthy, who came on so strong at the end of last year. We have Hollywood Brown, [who's] healthy again. There's guys everywhere. You add in Travis Kelce, a [future] Hall of Famer, Noah Gray, a great tight end, and everybody that we've added to all the different rooms. We have so many weapons, so let's go out there and just maximize it all. It's not going be just one person. It's going to be the entire offense going out there and showcase what the Kansas City Chiefs truly are."

Mahomes went on to say that this year's WR group could be the deepest he has had to work with in his career, making for tough decisions to be made during cutdown day.

"I think that it is the deepest," Mahomes said about the WR corps. "It's going to be hard to make cuts because we have so many great receivers. We could be eight or nine deep with guys I can see making the roster. That's what you want. You want competition, and we have that. (General manager) Brett Veach, coach (Andy) Reid did a great job of bringing guys in, and they've been competing. We're excited to get the St. Joe, Missouri (Chiefs training camp location) and go out there and compete and showcase who we are."

While making cuts are tough from a personal standpoint, it's a good thing from a personnel perspective if those decisions are hard. The Chiefs typically keep six WRs, so having eight or nine that are worthy of being on the 53-man roster is a good problem to have. If guys like Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, and Xavier Worthy can all stay healthy, K.C.'s passing attack will take a huge step forward in 2025.
