WHY PATRICK MAHOMES IS POPULAR IN THE HOBBY: In 2018, Mahomes exploded onto the NFL scene. He showcased his incredible arm strength, precision, and ability to make jaw-dropping throws from any position.
Mahomes led the Chiefs to a phenomenal regular season, throwing for over 5,000 yards and an amazing 50 touchdowns. He became the youngest player in NFL history to win the league’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.
If that wasn’t enough, in just his third season as a starter, Mahomes led the Chiefs to Super Bowl LIV against the San Francisco 49ers. Mahomes orchestrated a remarkable comeback to secure the Chiefs’ first Super Bowl victory in 50 years. He was named Super Bowl MVP for his outstanding performance, solidifying Mahomes’ status as one of the elite quarterbacks in the league.
Throughout his young career, Mahomes has shattered numerous records and achieved remarkable milestones. He holds the record for the fastest player to reach 10,000 career passing yards and the most touchdown passes in a player’s first three seasons. Mahomes has also earned multiple Pro Bowl selections, All-Pro honors, and has consistently led the league in exciting plays and deep completions.
