I hear you on the OU days and being in a predominately passing offense, good call, I overlooked that. That said, Big 12 defenses are pretty sad, outside of the occasional Texas DE. He clearly adjusted well in Baltimore, with his two Pro-Bowl nods for both tackle spots. Again, not super worried about it, but will be something I'll be looking for in the first few games.
And yep, the counter to my earlier question/thought re: his adjustment from Baltimore to KC's offense is that his length will serve him really well. His wingspan is 85.13 inches, and ranks in the 96th percentile.
So even if a speed rusher runs upfield to try and go around him, his long ass arms will allow him to make that defender's loop even wider. Obviously the outlier is Mahomes' comfort and willingness to stay in the pocket, which should be better this year with a stronger/better interior.
