Watch: Patrick Mahomes’s Magical Moments of 2019

Patrick Mahomes II has taken NFL by storm since he became the starting quarterback for Kansas City Chiefs in 2018. His impressive throws and brilliant performances under pressure are reflective of his effort and training. He has been evolving as an athlete and his wonder years still haven’t begun.

Star Athlete

Mahomes is the son of Major League baseball player Pat Mahomes. He played three sports, as a high school junior – football, baseball, and basketball.  His high school athletic director was certain he could have become a Division I basketball player. This was only the beginning for Pat junior. In 2014, he was named the 4A Texas State Player of the Year by the Associated Press.

The Quarterback, despite his athletic prowess across sports, chose football because of the infinite possibilities involved. Football permits him to put his unique skills to the best possible use. Patrick has been described as instinctive and smart, apart from the usual talented. As a quarterback, he is required to have in-depth knowledge to play the position. This knowledge is only acquired through experience or education. His responsibilities include studying as many defenses as possible to be able to make split-second decisions while attempting perplexing throws.

Many critics questioned if he had what it takes to become a franchise quarterback during the 2017 draft. But Mahomes has silenced all critics and surpassed all expectations with his stunning plays.

Patrick Mahomes is great both on and off the field

“He’s as good as I’ve ever seen. What he’s accomplished is amazing, but honestly more amazing might be what a great young man he is”, said Athletic Director for Whitehouse High School while speaking to Max Prep.

What sets Mahomes apart, other than his stellar record as a footballer, is his persona. He is so full of imagination, eloquent and poised that even his rivals can’t help but appreciate him. He has been compared with Joe Namath of the Jets and Joe Greene of the Steelers, both of whom are highly regarded.

With 76 touchdowns and an average of 8.3 last year, do you think Mahomes has what it takes to be a star quarterback?
