“#Jets on stopping ‘hellacious’ Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes: ‘A true test’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Here\u2019s a scary NFL thought for trick-or-treat weekend: Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams believes Patrick Mahomes has just \u201cscratched the surface\u201d of the player he can be.<\/p>\n

Williams offered that assessment Friday as the Jets (0-7) made final preparations to face Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium in the star quarterback\u2019s first career start against Gang Green.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I\u2019ve coached against] a lot of Hall of Fame quarterbacks, and when we\u2019re doing evaluations of people you try to say \u2018same as, same as,\u2019 but really, he\u2019s of his own,\u201d Williams said of Mahomes on a Zoom call after practice in Florham Park. \u201cHe has a lot of intangibles about him, and he\u2019s getting very strong coaching to help him continue to mature.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think he\u2019s just scratched the surface. I think he\u2019s going to continue to grow in this league.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams has schemed against Mahomes once before, when he was the Browns\u2019 defensive coordinator in 2018. In his 10th career start, Mahomes completed 23 of 32 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns at Cleveland on his way to winning league MVP honors. <\/p>\n

Jets linebacker Jordan Jenkins called Sunday\u2019s game<\/a> \u201ca true test,\u201d acknowledging \u201cthings can real bad real fast\u201d against the speedy and balanced Kansas City offense.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guy is only [25]. Imagine what a couple more years will do for him,\u201d Jenkins said of Mahomes. \u201cWhen he\u2019s really starting to understand. He knows the game pretty well now, but imagine when he gets the knowledge and the vet savviness to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can agree with what Gregg\u2019s saying. He\u2019s still a young guy and he still has a lot he can do, a lot he can learn, and just keep adding and adding to his belt over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to his 2018 MVP award, Mahomes led the Chiefs last season to their first Super Bowl title in 50 years. He has thrown for 16 touchdowns with just one interception through their 6-1 start this year.<\/p>\n

Asked what separates the mobile Mahomes from other top quarterbacks he has faced, Jenkins cited \u201cthe amount of times he\u2019s been on SportsCenter,\u201d especially for his ability to roll out of the pocket to one side of the field and throw it to other side with accuracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guy is just the guy,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cRight now he is probably [the head] of the new wave. You got the Bradys, the Mannings, and now he\u2019s one of the ones of the younger generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a hellacious player, he\u2019s a playmaker and he\u2019s just a really good quarterback. He makes different kinds of throws, left and right, and he puts it on the money. He makes throws you don\u2019t see a lot of guys making. He\u2019s just good.\u201d<\/p>\n
