Following the game, coach Andy Reid discussed the decision.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Yeah, you know, he was in that class with Patrick (Mahomes) and it&#8217;s almost like he kind of never left,&#8221;<\/em> Reid said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s how I think the guys that have been here see that, and then the guys that haven&#8217;t been here have always heard about Kareem and the guys talking about him.
