The Kansas City Chiefs struggled for much of the 2000s. Then, the team brought in new head coach Andy Reid in 2012. While Reid improved the Chiefs’ performance, he still lacked a franchise quarterback. In the 2017 NFL Draft, the team drafted Patrick Mahomes, who only started one game in the 2017 season.
The quarterback’s life revolves around constant exercise and recovery. As such, his body needs more sleep compared to non-athletes. In fact, Mahomes’ sleep patterns are not unique for professional athletes.
For example, defensive end J.J. Watt has been quite public about being an excessive sleeper. So much so that he brought his own bed into NRG Stadium, as reported by USA Today.
