Patrick Mahomes Separates Himself From Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees And Other Elite QBs By Achieving This Ridiculous Feat Before Turning 30

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes adds another feather to his list of achievements. Texas Tech decided to add their alumnus to the Ring of Honor and Hall of Fame club. This announcement was made on Saturday by the school’s athletic director Kirby Hocutt. Mahomes will be enshrined in the school’s elite club with special recognition as one of the best athletes to have represented the institute.

Although Mahomes began his career as a baseball fanatic, and was inclined towards basketball, the quarterback saw his real purpose after playing football. “When you look at the face of the NFL, that is Patrick Mahomes,” Hocutt said during the Hall of Fame announcement.

“Patrick’s accomplishments at Texas Tech are well documented with his success as one of the top quarterbacks in college football history. Patrick is an NFL MVP and a Super Bowl champion. But he’s, most importantly, a Red Raider who remains an avid supporter of our great university. We are excited to welcome home Patrick and his family later this fall to see his name formally honored inside Jones AT&T Stadium.” he added.

The 26-year-old played for three seasons with Texas Tech from 2014 to 2017. As a freshman, he started as a backup to Davis Webb. Later the same year, he was promoted to the starting position after Webb incurred a season-ending injury. In the subsequent seasons, Mahomes threw for a total of 9,705 yards and registered 77 touchdowns.

He was successful in setting a new FBS record with 819 yards for a 66-59 loss against Oklahoma in 2016. With this Ring of honor, Patrick Mahomes will become the eighth member to achieve this feat since its inception in 2012.

Patrick Mahomes responds to the achievement

In the current era of pro football, there is no argument over Patrick Mahomes proving himself as a generational talent. The gunslinger marked his presence among other elite QBs by winning his first Super Bowl at 24. Moreover, being inducted into his alma mater’s Hall of Fame at 26 sets him apart from other elite QB’s in the NFL, such as Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Drew Brees.

He was selected in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft. The subsequent year, he won the NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year award. He played as a backup for Alex Smith as a rookie but later took the field by storm. It seems a Hall of Fame Induction was unexpected for the quarterback.

“Wow man… can’t even explain how appreciative I am. Texas Tech has done so much to make me who I am today.” Mahomes wrote on Twitter. The youngster will be playing in his sixth NFL season, and he’s only 26. The question is whether he will be able to clinch his second Super Bowl, etching his name in the history books forever.
