FAQs

What makes Patrick Mahomes the best? ›

Mahomes also has a plethora of individual statistics to his name that help his case. He holds the regular season record for total yards (passing, rushing and receiving) at 5,614 and has the most passing yards per game in NFL history.

Tom Brady

In addition to Brady's seven Super Bowl titles, his five Super Bowl MVPs are the most in NFL history. Brady has the most passing yards (89,214) and passing touchdowns (649) in league history, along with the most quarterback wins and Pro Bowl selections in league history.

Super Bowl winner Len Dawson still holds the franchise records for passing yards and touchdown passes. Alex Smith had a solid five-year run with the Chiefs following his stint with the 49ers.

Mahomes wore the number 5 in college at Texas Tech; when the Chiefs released its previous owner, kicker Cairo Santos, rumors spread that the quarterback was set to drop to single digits. However, that move did not happen, and fans who had already bought their favorite player's jersey could rest easy.

Joe Burrow has the highest career completion percentage by a quarterback, at 68.0 percent.

Tagovailoa, Murray and Newton are the only quarterbacks on an active NFL roster to wear No. 1.

Patrick Mahomes — a starter for only three years, yet already a Super Bowl champion — is the greatest quarterback of this generation. Under Mahomes, the Chiefs have never lost more than four games in the regular season and have finished in first place in the AFC West every year since he became the starter.

Leadership: Mahomes exemplifies exceptional leadership qualities on and off the field. Professionals in leadership roles can learn from his ability to inspire and motivate his team, foster collaboration, and lead by example.

But Mahomes stands alone as the youngest player ever to win league MVP and Super Bowl MVP in the same season. Mahomes also already has more passing yards and touchdowns than Brady did in his 20s.
