-- Positioned next to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, at the start of what would be a nine-month odyssey, was the MRI machine. 14 day revealed the most significant injury of Mahomes' nine-year career: a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee. "I'm willing," Mahomes responded, "to do whatever it takes." Throughout his rehab and recovery, Mahomes has said that same sentence many times. "I [will] be back stronger than ever." AWAITING MAHOMES ON Day 1 of 274 was Julie Frymyer, one of the Chiefs' top assistant athletic trainers. Since Mahomes became the Chiefs' starter in 2018, Frymyer has been one of the team's most sought-out trainers. Also helping him, according to Frymyer and various others in the Chiefs organization, is Mahomes' remarkable ability to tolerate pain, whether during a game or in the team's training room.
