Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes won the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year award.

The award comes along with the league's MVP honors. Mahomes really outperformed everyone's expectations.

The Chiefs took Mahomes with the 10th overall pick in the 2017 draft. This was a risk since they still had Alex Smith on the roster.

But it seemed like the front office had put their cards into the young man. They even traded away Smith. To Andy Ried and the rest of the organization, Mahomes was their quarterback moving forward.

Their bet paid out perfectly, as Mahomes has proven himself to be the best quarterback coming into the league since Tom Brady himself.
