Xavier does a great job,” Mahomes told reporters in August. “Obviously he’s fast, but it’s almost like he runs fast and he can run with pace fast, and so he’s able to track the ball really well, he runs a lot of great routes, and he’s going to get as physical a camp as any here, so he’s been doing a great job trying to fight off press as best as he can, getting through there and making plays happen, and he’ll keep getting better and better. I mean, if he can get through this camp, he’ll be able to get through a lot of stuff, so I’m excited for him and how he’s kind of progressed throughout camp.”
