Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been named to NFL.com’s All-Under-25 Team. The team features 26 players under the age of 25 who are considered among the rising stars in the NFL. In order to qualify for this list, all of the players must be under the age of 25 when the NFL season is scheduled to kick off on September 10.
Here’s a look at what NFL.com’s Marc Sessler had to say about Mahomes:
“Were you expecting someone else? Thirty-one starts into his made-for-cinema career, Patrick Mahomes appears to harbor no weakness, topping his 50-touchdown MVP frolic of 2018 with a Super Bowl title one season later. Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson spin a special brand of brilliance, but Mahomes looms today as the most complete-package quarterback of our time. Emitting downfield laser fire and flair-drenched sidearm spells with ease, Mahomes scans defenders with the eyes of a hawk and remains underrated in one key category: physical toughness. The beating heart of the Chiefs played through a laundry list of concerning injuries last autumn to reach the promised land and cap off a torrid, two-year run that all but redefined what we feel about the most important position in sports.“
The 24-year-old Mahomes enters his third season as a starter already having achieved so much. He’s crushed franchise and NFL records, he’s become league MVP and Super Bowl MVP in back-to-back seasons. As Sessler explained, he’s entirely redefined how the position is viewed and what early success as an NFL QB should look like.
Despite running the gamut on NFL achievements, Mahomes remains as motivated as ever. He’s still looking for ways that he can improve his game despite this unique offseason. That fact alone should have opposing NFL teams worried about the greatness that could soon follow. It’s hard to imagine, but Mahomes is just at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to reaching his seemingly limitless potential.
