"I’ve always said that when I’m done playing, I might want to go to the GM role, so I’ll ask (Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach) some stuff," Mahomes said via FOX4 KC.
"I like that type of stuff. … I like looking at future guys. Not necessarily building our team or anything like that, but I like seeing who the good players are and what they think about them."

It would be difficult to match Veach’s shrewdness over the last several years to build and maintain a lasting roster in which several guys have made Super Bowl appearances. Veach entered the Chiefs’ organization in 2013 as a pro and college personnel analyst, and in 2015 he served as the co-director of player personnel.
After the Chiefs selected Mahomes in the first round of the 2017 draft, Veach was named the general manager following John Dorsey’s dismissal. Since then, Kansas City has won five AFC West division titles, three AFC Championships and one Super Bowl.
