From the episode

The data on this for quarterbacks coming off an ACL suggests pretty strongly that we should expect a dip in both rushing attempts and rushing output or efficiency.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Expect a less mobile Mahomes early on, but passing production should remain stable.

Mahomes is expected to play Week 1, but Chona warns of a dip in rushing efficiency and attempts for roughly 12 months post-ACL surgery (mid-December). Mahomes has indicated a desire to scramble less, suggesting a more pocket-oriented, albeit still effective, passing season.
