Patrick Mahomes pays tribute to Len Dawson’s long-standing record

The Kansas City Chiefs have one Hall of Fame quarterback in their history. Though it’s way too early to speculate on such things, it still hasn’t stopped the entire NFL from at least acknowledging there is something very, very special at quarterback in the present.

Len Dawson is the Chiefs lone quarterback representative in the Hall, unless you want to count Joe Montana, but Patrick Mahomes is putting up a helluva first season as a starting QB so far. The Chiefs have been hungry for a real sensation under center for decades now, and while some veterans have filled in admirably—a list that includes Trent Green and Alex Smith—the reality is that Mahomes is a quarterback unlike any other.
