Chiefs’ Josh Simmons Under Pressure to Fill Key Role for Patrick Mahomes
The Kansas City chiefs reached the Super Bowl last season, but it was a forgetful performance for Andy Reid and Company. As a result, chiefs are looking to return to the Big Game for a rebound performance.
Nevertheless, to get there, an expert believes that Kansas City will need a recruit so as not to play like a recruit, because it will benefit Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offensive to look previously in recent years.

The Derrik Klassen of athletics said that there was pressure on the offensive platform recruited Josh Simmons to hit the ground and not have a transitional phase during the season since he played a major role in the offensive of the chiefs.
“If Josh Simmons is good enough, this is one of the other major reasons that this team could be really good,” said Klassen on “The Athletic Football Show”. “Because, again, as I said, part of the reason why they could not throw on the field last year was that they did not have the impression of being able to protect, especially in the withdrawal scenarios.”

Simmons has to be part of the offensive line that can protect Mahomes time because one of the lasting memories of the previous season was the Super Bowl, where the chiefing star was dismissed six times.
Nevertheless, Klassen does not ask Simmons to be a bowling player in the year 1; If he and his teammates can be an average offensive line, it is already a victory for Kansas City.

“If Simmons can at least leave, I don’t know, the chiefs having [offensive] Treat 31 last year for the Tackle 21 offensive, which goes far to Patrick Mahomes at ease there, having time to find guys like [Xavier] Worthy and [Rashee] Rice on the ground, “added Klassen.
“And if they can exploit a little in it, I think that is how we are going:” Oh, the chiefs have found a way to be the seventh best offense, “versus” oh, they light the world on fire. “”
