Patrick Lavon Mahomes II[4] (/məˈhoʊmz/ mə-HOHMZ;[5] born September 17, 1995) is an American professional football quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). Since becoming the Chiefs' starting quarterback in 2018, he has led the team to seven consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances and five Super Bowl appearances, winning three. He is one of only five quarterbacks in NFL history to win three or more Super Bowls as a starter.[6] Mahomes is widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time[7][8][9] and is often considered the best quarterback of his generation, with many outlets ranking him as the league’s top player at the position.[10][11][12][13][14][15]

Mahomes played college football for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, winning the Sammy Baugh Trophy as a junior after leading the FBS in passing yards and total touchdowns. He was selected 10th overall by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2017 NFL draft and spent his rookie season as the backup to Alex Smith. In 2018, after the Chiefs traded Smith, Mahomes became the starter and threw for 5,097 yards, 50 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He became the first quarterback to achieve over 5,000 passing yards in both college and the NFL, and joined Peyton Manning as the only players to record 5,000 passing yards and 50 touchdowns in an NFL season. For his performance in his first season as a starter, he won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year and NFL Most Valuable Player awards, becoming one of four black quarterbacks to win the AP MVP award.[c]

In the 2019 season, Mahomes led the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl in 50 years, defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV. Mahomes was awarded the Super Bowl MVP for his performance, becoming the youngest quarterback and the second Black quarterback to earn the honor.[d] In 2020, Mahomes signed a 10-year contract extension worth over $450 million, making it one of the largest contracts in sports history. That season, the Chiefs returned to the Super Bowl but lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV. In the 2022 season, Mahomes led the league in passing yards and touchdowns, won NFL MVP, and earned Super Bowl MVP after beating the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. He won his third Super Bowl MVP after beating the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII the following year, leading the Chiefs to back-to-back titles. In the 2024 season, he led the Chiefs to their third straight Super Bowl but lost to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, falling short of a historic three-peat.
