The Kansas City Chiefs recently bolstered their offense by adding DeAndre Hopkins. However, the wide receiver didn’t have a very strong performance in Week 9, prompting Patrick Mahomes to send him a clear message.
A few days ago, the Chiefs announced the arrival of a top-tier player. DeAndre Hopkins was traded from the Titans to Kansas City, providing the elite wide receiver they needed.
Now, Patrick Mahomes has a new weapon for the season’s second half. However, Hopkins’ start hasn’t been smooth, as he’s still adjusting to the team’s gameplan.

Hopkins has been a star wide receiver throughout his career. He’s faced many challenges, and working with Mahomes should, on paper, be an easy task.
Nevertheless, the former Titans player has had a slow start in Kansas City. He’s still adjusting, but the Chiefs are willing to give him time.
In Week 9, Hopkins had a solid game against the Buccaneers, with key catches helping secure the win. However, he has struggled with some routes, but Mahomes believes more time will help him settle.

“I think as he figures out the whole entire offense he’ll get even better, because there’s some times he’s going places and I’m like, man, there’s a time and a place for that, but that’s what makes him great,” Mahomes said. “You give him a chance down the field, he makes a play. . . . To have a guy like that that can go up and make that catch in a crowd of defenders is a special type of player.”
