Patrick Mahomes' career in the NFL
The quarterback was drafted 10th overall in 2017 by the Kansas City Chiefs. For most of the season, he sat behind Alex Smith, who had no trouble guiding the team through the regular season. Smith did such a good job that the Chiefs felt confident in letting the rookie play the low-stakes Week 17 game against the Denver Broncos.
Mahomes won the game and proved he was ready to start in the 2018-19 season, during which the team found a new gear under him.
In his first starting season, he nearly set a record for touchdowns thrown in a season, throwing for 50 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. The Chiefs made the AFC Championship game that year, where they lost to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
In the 2019-20 season, the quarterback threw for just 26 touchdowns and five interceptions, but the team won the Super Bowl. Many look at that season as the team's peak.
In the 2020-21 season, the Chiefs lost to Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl. In the 2021-22 season, Kansas lost to Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game.
