Hello, this week for my blog I will be doing a mini biography on the NFL quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.
Patrick Mahomes was born on September 17, 1995, so now he is 26 years old. He was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017 and has been playing for them ever since. In university he played for Texas Tech. I think he is one of the greatest quarterbacks right now. Once Tom Brady retires he will probably be the best quarterback in the league.
Last year he had a completion rate of 66.3%. He passed a total of 4740 yards. He threw a total of 38 touchdowns and had only 6 interceptions in the whole season. Mahomes had better stats than brady except Brady threw 40 touchdowns. The MVP Aaron Rodgers had better stats than him except for passing yards.
In the Super Bowl last year, the Buccaneers (Tom Brady’s team) were playing the Kansas City Chiefs (Patrick Mahomes’ team). The Buccaneers ended up winning and that was the first game that Mahomes had lost a game by double digits. I think it was for sure not his fault though. He was making really hard throws and had to scramble for a long time because his teammates wouldn’t get open. He had to make really hard throws and his wide receiver Tyreek Hill and his Tight End Travis Kelce couldn’t catch anything even though they were great passes.
Last year he signed a crazy salary. He signed a ten year contract with the Chiefs worth $503 million dollars! He is averaging $50.3 million per year! That is crazy and he is earning more than $10 million more than any other quarterback in the league.
I think Mahomes right now is better than the other quarterbacks and will be really good in the future. That is the end of my blog and I hope you enjoyed. Here is a link to Elijah’s blog and Ernest’s blog.
