Podcast: Locked On Chiefs - Daily Podcast On The Kansas City Chiefs
Published On: Fri May 08 2026
Description: Kansas City Chiefs take a bold step by drafting LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier as Patrick Mahomes’ new backup. Could this high-upside quarterback become a future starter—or a valuable trade asset? Hosts Chris Clark and Ryan Tracy break down the calculated risk Kansas City took on Nussmeier, whose slide in the NFL Draft followed a spinal cyst injury but hasn’t dulled his first-round potential. Intrigue mounts over how Andy Reid’s staff will develop the rookie amid Mahomes’ recovering timeline and Justin Fields claiming the QB2 spot. Key topics include the Chiefs’ evolving depth chart, Mahomes’ injury recovery, and how extra training camp reps for Nussmeier could impact his trajectory. The episode explores roster logistics, rookie contract value, and whether Nussmeier can recapture his franchise QB form from LSU. Chiefs’ backup quarterback future is suddenly wide open—will Nussmeier prove he’s up to the challenge? Join our Everydayer Club at lockedonchiefs.supercast.com!
