The countdown to the 2025 NFL season has begun, and the Kansas City Chiefs find themselves in familiar territory as championship favorites.
Patrick Mahomes has kept a relatively quiet profile throughout the offseason, but his focus remains sharp as training camp approaches.
The Chiefs are entering what many consider their “revenge tour” after last season’s devastating finish.
One of Mahomes’ new teammates recently offered insight into the quarterback’s current mindset.
Xavier Worthy appeared on the Up & Adams Show and delivered a clear message about what the NFL can expect from the three-time Super Bowl champion.
“He in a different mode right now,” Worthy said.

The Chiefs came painfully close to making history last season while chasing an unprecedented Super Bowl three-peat.
Their championship dreams were crushed by the Philadelphia Eagles in the final game, a loss that has lingered throughout the entire offseason.
That disappointment has transformed into motivation for the upcoming campaign.
The organization maintains its championship-or-bust mentality, and this season carries additional weight for Mahomes personally.
The quarterback has been laser-focused since that crushing defeat, channeling his frustration into preparation for redemption.
Mahomes posted solid numbers during the 2024 regular season, completing 67.5% of his passes across 16 games.
He accumulated 3,928 passing yards with 26 touchdowns against 11 interceptions while adding 307 rushing yards and two ground scores.
His postseason performance remained strong despite the ultimate outcome, totaling 679 yards with five passing touchdowns and two rushing scores over three games.
With key talent returning and Mahomes operating with renewed purpose, Kansas City enters 2025 as the team to beat.
