The former Rice Owls tight end talked about the encouragement he’s received from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The 23-year-old, a native of Camdenton, finished his final season at SEMO with 4,073 passing yards and 33 touchdowns, both of which led the Ohio Valley Conference. His 6-5, 230 pound frame could also play a factor in how willing the Chiefs are to give him a chance.
