In the 2017 draft, the Chiefs announced Patrick Mahomes as the 10th overall pick, and he promptly signed his four-year rookie deal.

During his rookie season, Mahomes mostly remained out of the public eye, serving as a backup to Alex Smith.

And the rest, as they say, is history. When he burst onto the field as a starter in 2018 donning the red jersey, Mahomes threw for 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns, earning the MVP award in his debut season as a starter.
