Gruden’s QB Camp is back and Kansas City Chiefs fans will get a great look at Patrick Mahomes in this episode. Gruden has ties to Andy Reid and some on the Chiefs staff so I always look at what he’s saying about these prospects (even if he is always positive).

Gruden did express some frustration about the same thing Reid has: young quarterbacks (not) calling plays. Mahomes and most other young quarterbacks aren’t in a huddle spitting out a 15-word play in the huddle. They’re using hand signals so that’s an adjustment. Chiefs GM John Dorsey brought that up, too.

It’s frustrating for me honestly to see where football is going. Everybody in high school everybody in college running to the line of scrimmage running plays as fast as they can and then looking to the sideline to get all the information from the coach.

Mahomes said in the episode he can overcome that. He’ll have to. Check out the video below and a few other quotes that stuck out.

Gruden: Here’s my favorite gun slinger. You ever heard of Favre? There’s a lot of you in Favre.

Mahomes: I love watching Brett Favre play. I watched him growing up.

Gruden: I get excited watching you play. I really do.

Mahomes on being a system QB: “To me, it’s motivation. I want to be that guy who breaks that mold. I want to bea great NFL quarterback so other guys come through the system and have a chance to play. I feel like it’s just motivation to go out there and show aht I really have and what I can offer in the NFL.”

Gruden: “I have a lot of friends who do nothing but football and you’re the hottest topic in the league. You are. I’m not just saying that.”
