As the Chiefs look to defend their Super Bowl title in the 2023 season, Patrick Mahomes once again met with some of his receivers during the team’s offseason workouts to build early chemistry with them ahead of the season. However, the Chiefs signal caller is reportedly holding a workout with Boston College wide receiver Zay Flowers ahead of next week’s draft, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
