Joe Bleymaier enters his 11^th season with the Chiefs and in the NFL in 2026. This season marks his fourth as the team's pass game coordinator. He also served two seasons as the wide receivers coach (2021-22), three seasons as the pass game analyst/assistant quarterbacks coach (2018-20) and two seasons as an offensive quality control coach (2016-17).

In 2025, Bleymaier oversaw the team's passing game, led by QB Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes recorded several career milestones in 2025 including becoming the youngest player to throw 250 career touchdowns (30 years, 11 days), the most wins in a QB's first 125 starts (93 games, 119 starts), and the fewest games to surpass 35,000 career passing yards (123 games). The Chiefs offense produced five-straight games with 28+ points, tying for the third-most consecutive such games in the regular season in team history.

Bleymaier again worked closely with the wide receivers in 2024 as the Chiefs recorded a franchise record 15-2 season en route to their third-straight Super Bowl appearance. Bleymaier's coaching helped rookie WR Xavier Worthy emerge as the offense's top receiver reporting 59 receptions for 638 yards for six touchdowns. Worthy was second only to TE Travis Kelce who led the team for a third-straight season (2022-24) with 97 receptions for 823 yards and three touchdowns. Despite losing several key pass catchers to injuries, Mahomes still hit several milestones himself while maintaining his highest career completion percentage (67.5%). Mahomes also passed PFHOF QB Len Dawson for the most passing yards in franchise history (28,715) as well as most passing touchdowns (238) while also claiming the most wins in a quarterback's first 100 starts (77 wins, 99 starts), besting QB Tom Brady and PFHOF Roger Staubach.

In 2023, Bleymaier worked closely with the wide receivers as the pass game coordinator helping to develop an offense with another year of high productivity. With Bleymaier's guidance, the offensive passing game was again top five in several categories including red zone passing touchdowns (25, 2^nd), completions (421, 3^rd) and passing first downs (216, 5^th). The Chiefs offense and QB Patrick Mahomes had the third-most completions in team history with 421, short of only the 2021 (448) and 2022 (435) offensive units. Bleymaier's guidance in the passing game helped Mahomes reach his third Super Bowl MVP performance in his career after going 34-for-46 for 333 yards and two touchdowns en route to the team's Super Bowl LVIII victory – back-to-back Super Bowl victories for the Chiefs (LVII and LVIII). TE Travis Kelce and rookie WR Rashee Rice led the receiving charge with 984 and 938 yards, respectively and the two combined for 12 regular season receiving touchdowns (Rice, seven; Kelce, five). Rice broke the team's rookie record for receptions (79) and receiving touchdowns (seven), earning him the Mack Lee Hill award (101 Awards) as voted on by his teammates.

As the club's wide receivers coach in 2022, Bleymaier was tasked with developing a new group of receiver talent with newcomer WRs Marquez Valdes-Scantling, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and rookie Skyy Moore. Chemistry was quickly developed between the Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, the newcomers and returning WR Mecole Hardman, who played in just eight games due to injury but managed to score four TDs. Mahomes found 11 different receivers throughout the season, the second most in the league, producing a historic passing performance in which they led the league in receiving yards (5,250), touchdowns (41), passing first downs (272), passes of 25+ yards (49) and points per game (29.2). Smith-Schuster led the receiver group with 78 receptions for 933 yards and three trips to the end zone.

In 2021, Bleymaier led one of the most explosive passing games in the NFL with Mahomes at the helm. Bleymaier assisted the Chiefs offense to rank fourth in net passing yards per game (281.8) and third in net yards per game (396.8). WR Tyreek Hill recorded 1,239 receiving yards, ranking seventh in the NFL, en route to his sixth Pro Bowl selection.

In 2020, the Chiefs offense ranked first in the league in passing yards per game (303.4) and net passing yards (4,854), third in average gain per pass play (7.48) and tied for third in passing touchdowns (40). As assistant quarterbacks coach, Bleymaier aided Mahomes to his third-straight Pro Bowl (2018-2020), and an AP All-Pro (second-team) selection after Mahomes threw for 4,740 yards and 38 passing touchdowns.

In 2019, Bleymaier emphasized the passing game and worked closely with Mahomes to help the Chiefs passing game rank fifth in passing yards per game (281.1) and second in average gain per pass play (7.48). In the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LIV the payoff was clear as Mahomes and the offense rallied to score 21 points, coming back from a 10-point deficit to defeat the 49ers.

In 2018, Bleymaier worked with a Chiefs offense that featured the NFL MVP QB Mahomes, as he threw for 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns, which was only the second time in NFL history that a player has thrown for 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns.

Prior to his time at Colorado where he served as an offensive quality control coach (2013-15), Bleymaier spent two seasons as the assistant coach at Wauwatosa East High School in Milwaukee, Wis., while he was attending law school (2006-07).

Additionally, Bleymaier spent three summers as a football operations intern with Andy Reid and the Philadelphia Eagles (2007-09) while Reid was the Head Coach and Executive Vice President of Football Operations in Philadelphia.

Bleymaier was a four-year letterman as a wide receiver at Delaware (2002-05), where he hauled in 74 career receptions for 864 yards (11.7 avg.) with 11 total offensive touchdowns. In his sophomore season, Bleymaier was a member of the Blue Hens 15-1, I-AA National Championship team.
