Patrick Mahomes is probably the best quarterback in football, and now, the Kansas City Chiefs star will get to play in the Super Bowl in just his second year as a full-time starter.
If anyone knows how dominant Mahomes can be, it's Denver Broncos pass rusher Von Miller, who is an AFC West rival of Mahomes', but Miller says that it's not Mahomes' arm talent that makes him so impressive; it's his demeanor:
“Magic Mahomes is just incredible. He’s calm, he’s confident,” Miller said, via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. “There’s guys playing in the league 12 years in and they’re scared back there. He’s a confident guy.”
Mahomes, who played his collegiate football at Texas Tech, was originally selected by the Chiefs with the 10th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft.
He spent his rookie campaign learning behind veteran Alex Smith, but that ensuing offseason, Kansas City traded Smith to the Washington Redskins, clearing the way for Mahomes to start.
Mahomes responded by throwing for 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns while completing 66 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 113.8, making a Pro Bowl appearance, notching First-Team All-Pro honors and winning a league MVP award.
The 24-year-old did not light up the stat sheet quite as much this season, finishing with 4,031 yards and 26 touchdowns while completing 65.9 percent of his throws and registering a passer rating of 105.3, but it should be noted that Mahomes missed a couple of games due to a dislocated knee cap.
The Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
