Patrick Mahomes still had two years left on his rookie contract but that didn’t stop the Kansas City Chiefs from signing their 24-year-old quarterback to a massive 10-year contract extension. The deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter is reportedly worth over $400 million, linking Mahomes to Kansas City through 2031.
Let’s recap what Mahomes has been able to accomplish in just two years as a starter:
- Won Super Bowl LIV
- Named Super Bowl MVP
- Named NFL MVP
- Became just the third quarterback in NFL history to throw 50 touchdowns in a single season
- One of 12 passers in NFL history to throw for more than 5,000 yards in a season
Mahomes has done more in his first two seasons than most quarterbacks do in their entire careers.
