Andy Reid is the best-paid coach in the NFL for a reason and is known for throwing off opponents.
The Chiefs famously ran the Corndog trick play in both of their back-to-back victories.
And the spinning huddle they cooked up also caused quite a stir.
Now, Mahomes and Reid may have taken inspiration from another sport across the pond for their latest shenanigans.
Former rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit has joined on a three-year contract via the International Player Pathway.
And one clip of the Welsh wonder in rookie camp has fans exited.
The cross-sport hopeful caught a pass and threw it rugby-style to a coach.
A rugby account posted the brief video on X with the caption: “Kansas Chiefs sorting out their latest trick play with Rees-Zammit.
“The Chiefs love an unorthodox move.”
Rees-Zammit – listed as a running back – brings lots of open-field experience from his time as a winger for Wales.
It is believed he could play a role on returns when the new kickoff rules begin.
And maybe Reid has other plans for his latest potential offensive weapon.
“He’s done a good job of working on holding the ball,” Reid said after Rees-Zammit’s first day in training.
“They do hold it a little bit different, bigger ball and not quite as pointy as a football.
“He’s done a good job with that, working that.
“He’ll learn the pad level the first time he gets hit (and) he’ll be able to adjust where he’s at there.”
New teammate Travis Kelce has warned Rees-Zammit, who could also try to take the field as a wideout, that he faces a tough transition.
“It’s gonna be a humbling experience at first,” he said on the New Heights podcast.
“It’s not easy to just make that jump. They’re two completely different games.
“But he is an athlete, and that’s what the Chiefs saw.
“He’s a smart kid, smart player, so he’s going to be able to pick up the offense eventually.
“But it’s going to be a tough few months for him here while he’s getting acclimated to the NFL.”
