Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took the league by storm last year. He put up historic numbers and ran away with the MVP award, all in his first season as a starter.

What Mahomes did was truly incredible, and after just one season as a starter, he's established himself as one of the best players in the league. Mike Sando of The Athletic recently spoke to coaches and executives around the league, and they went even further in their praise of Mahomes.

“I want to see him do it again when people study him and their offense,” onoe exec said, “but from what I’ve seen, he might end up being the best ever. He has got some of the best-ever superpowers.”

Another exec echoes that sentiment.

“He is as good as I’ve ever seen,” he said. “I remember seeing that last game two years ago when he played against Denver, and I said, ‘Ho-lyyy s—!’ We just could not believe some of the throws he was making. It’s ridiculous, and he is only going to get better. How can you not give him a 1? Who is better right now? You would take him over any player in the league.”

One head coach told Sando that it isn't just the flash plays that make Mahomes stand out, and that he's excelling at all the traditional areas of quarterbacking as well.

“The thing I was so impressed with: Yeah, he makes the spectacular play, but he is playing the position,” he said. “He is seeing coverage, working through progressions. He is different than (Deshaun) Watson. He is making plays in rhythm when they are there, but then he is creating some of the most unbelievable off-schedule things I have ever seen in my life.”

The high praise isn't even that shocking considering what Mahomes accomplished last year. All eyes will be on him in 2019, and it'll be very interesting to see if he has a bit of a drop-off or if he comes out just as strong.
