Patrick Mahomes was surprised by the comments made by Tyreek Hill on a recent podcast that were critical of him and the Kansas City Chiefs.

"I'm surprised a little just because I feel like we love Tyreek here," Mahomes said. "We've always loved him. We still love him. I saw him out at Formula One in Miami. I'm sure it had something to do with trying to get his podcast some stuff and get it rolling.

"I still love Tyreek. He's a one-of-a-kind player. In coach [Andy] Reid's offense it takes the whole team. This offense was rolling before I got here. This offense was rolling when I was a young Cowboys fan watching the Eagles [coached by Reid] beat up on the Cowboys. It's an offense that's more than one player, and that includes myself."

Hill, who averaged 86 catches for 1,214 yards and 11 touchdowns in four seasons with Mahomes and the Chiefs, was traded in March to the Miami Dolphins.

Hill suggested recently on his "It Needed To Be Said" podcast that the Chiefs and Mahomes might struggle without him and that he was underused last season in Kansas City.
