Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is getting set for his ninth season in the NFL after falling just short in Super Bowl LIX.
Since 2018, Mahomes has led the Chiefs to five Super Bowl appearances, bringing home three Lombardi Trophies. His already Hall of Fame-worthy résumé also includes two MVP awards and three Super Bowl MVPs.
Mahomes will have similar names to throw the ball to during the 2025 NFL season, including tight end Travis Kelce and wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice.
Fellow wideout Hollywood Brown will also be staying in Kansas City for a second season after resigning on a one-year, $11 million deal.
In 2024, his lone season with the Chiefs, Brown was only able to play two games, recording just nine catches for 91 yards. The former Ravens and Cardinals wideout missed a majority of the year after suffering a sternoclavicular posterior dislocation in the preseason.
Brown was able to play in each of Kansas City's three playoff games, but was productive, grabbing five catches for 50 yards.
On Tuesday, Brown returned to Kansas City for the first day of the Chiefs’ mandatory camp. After practice, he took to social media and made it clear he’s ready for a comeback season. Brown's post also included numerous photos of himself at mini-camp.
"Hope these voices in my head go quiet ð¥·ð¿ðª️," Brown wrote on Instagram. "This comeback is personal. It's an apology to myself."
Mahomes showed his support for his wide receivers’ comeback season by reposting the message on his Instagram Story.

Before he joined the Chiefs in 2024, Brown spent five seasons in Baltimore and Arizona. His best season came in 2021 with the Ravens, recording a career-high 91 catches for a career-high 1,008 yards and six touchdowns.
The Chiefs will open the 2025 regular season in Sao Paulo, Brazil, facing the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday, September 5.
