Chiefs Offseason Preview: Mahomes' Knee, Kenneth Walker & a Loaded WR Room w/ Nick Jacobs

Matt Olson and Nick Jacobs (@Jacobs71), producer at KSHB-41 and co-host of 41 Is The Mic, break down everything you need to know about the Chiefs' revamped 2026 roster. They dig into Patrick Mahomes' knee and what his mobility actually looked like at OTAs, what Eric Bieniemy and Chad O'Shea bring to the coaching staff, and why the backfield additions of Kenneth Walker III and Demarcado could finally fix Kansas City's run game. Nick also breaks down the crowded wide receiver room, Rashee Rice's role, Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton as field-stretchers, and where Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen fit in, plus what Travis Kelce's workload looks like in what could be a make-or-break year for the tight end room behind him.
