Without a doubt, the league’s top quarterback is Patrick Mahomes. Having been picked in only seven years, he has already won three Super Bowls and is on the verge of being the greatest player in league history.
Mahomes attended Texas Tech for three years before to being selected in the 2017 draft. It was the right move for him to forgo his senior year of college in order to play in the NFL. The Chiefs quarterback was asked what his NIL deal would have looked like if it had existed when he was a college student in a recent video posted on the NFL’s account on X.
Mahomes replied:
“It would have been a good amount of money, especially for Lubbock, Texas. If I would have been able to get NIL, I probably would have stayed for my senior year and who knows what the rest of my NFL history would have been?”
Patrick Mahomes had a fantastic career at Texas Tech even though he wasn’t the most highly anticipated quarterback prospect out of college. In his 32 games over the course of three years, he threw for 11,252 yards, 29 interceptions, and 93 touchdowns. In addition, on 308 rushes, he scored 22 touchdowns and gained 820 yards. Two years ago, Mahomes was admitted into the Texas Tech Ring of Honor.
Patrick Mahomes was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs with the tenth overall choice in the 2017 NFL Draft. During his debut season, he was seated behind Alex Smith; in 2018, he was named the starting quarterback for the team.
In his first season as the quarterback for the Chiefs, he took home his first MVP trophy; in his second season as the starter, he guided his club to a Super Bowl victory.
Mahomes has won three Super Bowls, two MVPs, and three Super Bowl MVPs thus far. Following his 2020 Super Bowl victory, he inked a 10-year, $450 million contract extension with the Chiefs.
The star quarterback for the Chiefs is the league’s face, and for the remainder of his playing career, the question will be whether he can surpass Tom Brady in Super Bowl wins.
Mahomes and the Chiefs are eager to make NFL history by being the first team to win three straight Super Bowls, having won back-to-back titles.
