New York Jets fans would surely love an alternative timeline where Patrick Mahomes is setting records for their team instead of the Kansas City Chiefs, but that reportedly was never a serious possibility.
According to Brian Costello of the New York Post, former general manager Mike Maccagnan was not particularly interested in selecting Mahomes with the No. 6 overall pick of the 2017 NFL draft and instead wanted to give more time to 2016 second-rounder Christian Hackenberg.
"After speaking to several people who were inside the Jets organization at the time and involved in the draft, it is clear the Jets never seriously considered drafting Mahomes," Costello wrote.
