After Weeks on the Bench and Dropped to WR4 Despite Solid Play, 49ers Star Shockingly Praises Patrick Mahomes – 49ers Fans Are Furious: “He Wants to Go to Kansas City”
Santa Clara, California – The tension surrounding Kendrick Bourne at the San Francisco 49ers just hit a new high after his latest comments about Patrick Mahomes. From being a steady early-season weapon, Bourne has been demoted to WR4 and his playing time has plummeted ever since Ricky Pearsall returned. Weeks of being “shelved” have made his frustration increasingly obvious.
In that context, Bourne – the former beloved WR1 in New England – suddenly went public with deep admiration for superstar Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback who is redefining an entire generation in the NFL. His words sent the 49ers community into chaos: “Even in a season filled with doubts, Mahomes still plays with a level of greatness that makes you stop and stare. There are moments when the ball leaves his hand and everything on the field instantly changes — and it’s hard to find a wide receiver who wouldn’t want to run routes for a talent like that.” Bourne said with clear emotion.
The reaction was explosive. 49ers fans are livid, accusing Bourne of “pouring gasoline on the fire” while he’s losing his spot. Many sarcastically commented that he’s “already packed his bags for Kansas City.” More seasoned observers see it simply as the voice of a player who feels overlooked and is admiring talent elsewhere – something that happens when a player no longer has a clear role in the current system.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan remained cautious when asked about Bourne’s remarks, repeating that the team has “a clear plan for every role.” But the reality is undeniable: Bourne is no longer a priority in the offensive structure, and his contract expires after the 2025 season – making every word about Mahomes fuel even more speculation about his future.
If Bourne leaves the 49ers this offseason, Kansas City will certainly be mentioned among the options. An open offensive system, Patrick Mahomes at the peak of his powers, and a receiving corps needing more depth – everything creates a logical landing spot. And Bourne himself left a crystal-clear hint:
“You just want to be somewhere you believe you can make a difference. And sometimes… your heart tells you exactly where that place is.”
