Speaking of Parks
In fact, Parks said that he’s been keeping a close eye on Mathieu for quite a while.
“I always watched his game — and quite frankly, he watched me play, too,” he said proudly. “So that’s exciting, having a guy like that say, ‘Yo, you can play football.’ We’ve been pretty much close ever since I came here through OTAs. I almost slept in his room two nights ago before curfew, too — so that’s just how much we’ve been bonding here. So I’m excited.”
So... “Patrick Mahomes effect”? Sure. The superstar quarterback is obviously part of the equation. But we’re also talking about an excellent staff led by one of the league’s premier coaches — and a team that’s largely been built with a consistent vision over eight seasons. To players like Parks, it might better be described as the “Kansas City Chiefs effect.”
