Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach was in the Blum Student Union cafeteria lunch line when rookie running back Emmett Johnson caught him off guard. Johnson asked a direct question — and one Veach acknowledges now he wasn't fully prepared for. "Y'all don't think I can block, do you?"

Rookie Johnson's hot start fueled by blocking commitment and Mahomes support.

Emmett Johnson, the Chiefs' rookie running back, has had a hot start to his NFL career; the source attributes his success to a Patrick Mahomes direct message and a direct question he posed to GM Brett Veach in the cafeteria lunch line asking if the team thought he couldn't block. Johnson's willingness to address the concern head-on and his subsequent performance suggests he has earned trust in the Chiefs' run-heavy offensive scheme.
