What happened: Patrick Mahomes said his mindset heading into training camp is to prove to coaches and doctors that he's the same quarterback he was before tearing his ACL and LCL, "if not better." The comments come as he prepares for camp coming off the reconstructive knee surgery.

Why it matters: Mahomes has already been cleared to practice after the ACL tear, putting his recovery timeline ahead of where it stood earlier in the offseason. How he looks in camp reps will shape early-season expectations after a stretch in which evaluators grew less certain he's still the league's clear top quarterback.

What to watch: Watch Mahomes' practice workload and mobility once camp reps begin.
