Just over a month after the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, quarterback Patrick Mahomes is already back in the lab, grinding for the 2025 season. NFL Network’s Dov Kleiman highlighted Mahomes’ relentless work ethic in a recent post on X, sharing a clip fromthat shows the Chiefs’ superstar putting in the reps. Just over a month after losing the Super Bowl Chiefs superstar QB Patrick Mahomes is already putting in the work getting ready for next season, Kleiman wrote.
Mahomes, who’s already cemented himself as one of the NFL’s all-time greats with three Super Bowl rings and two MVP awards, isn’t letting the sting of defeat slow him down. The Chiefs came up short against the Eagles in February, a 31-24 loss that snapped their bid for a three-peat. Mahomes threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns in the game, but a late interception sealed Kansas City’s fate. For a competitor like Mahomes, that kind of loss only fuels the fire—he’s known for his obsessive preparation, often spending hours in the film room and on the practice field to stay a step ahead.
Bobby Stroupe, a trainer who’s worked with Mahomes for years, gives fans a glimpse of that dedication. Mahomes is seen going through drills, fine-tuning his mechanics, and pushing his body to the limit. It’s the kind of offseason work that’s made him a nightmare for defenses—last season, he threw for 4,183 yards and 27 touchdowns, even with a Chiefs receiving corps that struggled with drops. With Andy Reid calling plays and a revamped offense that now includes DeAndre Hopkins and rookie Xavier Worthy, Mahomes is setting the stage for another MVP-caliber year.
This isn’t just hype—Mahomes’ work ethic is the stuff of legend in NFL circles. Teammates like Travis Kelce have called him the hardest worker they’ve ever seen, and stories of Mahomes staying late to study film or run extra routes are well-documented. It’s why he’s already got six Pro Bowl nods at 29 years old and why the Chiefs are perennial contenders. As Kansas City gears up for 2025, with their season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on September 5, Mahomes is making sure he’s ready to lead the charge for another Super Bowl run. The loss might’ve hurt, but if this clip is any indication, Mahomes is coming back with a vengeance—and the NFL should be on notice.
