Mahomes’ impressive NFL career
Patrick Mahomes has had an impressive career at a young age. He was selected as tenth in the first round of the NFL draft in 2017. In his first season he had to be the reserve role behind the experienced quarterback Alex Smith (36), but was allowed to fight his first serious fight with the professionals on the last day of the regular season.
–
His star really opened in the 2018/2019 season after Smith was transferred to Washington. Mahomes took off, threw one touchdown after the other and amazed the experts with his aggressive style of play. At the end of the year, he received the MVP award as the youngest player since Dan Marino in 1984.

In the past season Mahomes confirmed his performance. After a short injury break in the middle of the season, he made a successful comeback and led his team into the playoffs. There he made history again, catching up 0:24 with four touchdowns in just a quarter. The crowning glory in February: Mahomes finished the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl 35 to 24 and brought the first trophy to Kansas City in 50 years.
