Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce practice with QB trainer Jeff Christensen as Chiefs quest for three-peat is well underway
The Chiefs’ quest for a three-peat is already well underway as Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce practiced with quarterback coach Jeff Christensen this week.
Mahomes and Kelce smiled as they posed for a photo with an ex-NFL passer, which Christensen shared on his Instagram story.
According to Christensen’s account, the trio worked at Colleyville Heritage High School in Texas.
Christensen played for the Bengals, Eagles and Browns after being drafted in the fifth round of the 1983 NFL Draft.
Earlier this month, Mahomes was working out with new teammate Marquise “Hollywood” Brown.

In a video posted on Instagramthe former Ravens and Cardinals speedster flashed his speed as he set out for passes from Mahomes.
Brown signed a one-year, $7 million contract with Kansas City in March.
The Chiefs offense welcomed a new receiver on Thursday when the team selected former Texas receiver Xavier Worthy in the NFL Draft.
And former Panthers star Luke Kuelchy believes Kelce will do well with Brown and Worthy playing alongside him.
Asked on the Up & Adams show how the Chiefs will use Worthy next year, Kuelchy said: “You have to imagine they’re going to use that speed for some deep balls, big overs and some zoom sweeps.
Kelce helped Kansas City win a Super Bowl last year and now has even more talent alongside him
“I think the biggest winner for the Chiefs this season is Travis Kelce. You bring in Marquise Brown, vertical speed down the field, Xavier Worthy, vertical speed down the field.
“So now there’s going to be all these layers and space for Travis Kelce to run around more than he’s ever been able to and catch these balls uncontested.
“These guys are running around the field doing overs and crossers and Travis Kelce can just run underneath and catch the ball.
Kelce was his typically impressive self last season, although he failed to record 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2015.
