Arrowheadlines: ESPN predicts that Mahomes will be a top-two player in 2019

Age: 23

2018 rank: NR

The most amazing part of Mahomes’ 2018 season wasn’t that he became only the second player to throw for 50 touchdown passes and 5,000 yards. It’s that he did it in his first season as a starter and at age 23. Mahomes should only keep improving this season and into the future. -- Adam Teicher

Signature stat: Mahomes’ 14 passing touchdowns while throwing on the move were twice as many as any other player had last season.

2019 projection: 4,737 passing yards, 35 TDs, 12 INTs

Unheralded rookies: Though the top picks frequently garner much of the attention at this time of year, some of the top performers in the preseason didn’t create much of a buzz in April.
