NFL Career: Kansas City Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes' journey with the Kansas City Chiefs began when he was drafted as the 10th overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft. He made his debut later that year against the Denver Broncos and quickly showcased his potential. By 2018, Mahomes had already made history by throwing for 50 touchdowns and 5,000 passing yards in a single season, joining an exclusive club of quarterbacks to achieve such a feat.
That stellar performance earned him the NFL's MVP award and marked him as the first player in Chiefs' history to win the honor. In February 2020, Mahomes led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers, earning the MVP title for the game. His success secured him a record-breaking 10-year contract extension, solidifying his place with the team.
Despite a setback in 2021 with a Super Bowl loss to Tom Brady's Buccaneers, Mahomes and the Chiefs bounced back in 2023, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles for another championship. That season, Mahomes threw for over 4,000 yards and 27 touchdowns, leading the team to impressive playoff victories.
In Super Bowl LVIII, he orchestrated a dramatic comeback to defeat the 49ers, further adding to his legacy with another MVP award.
