Deshaun Watson vs. Patrick Mahomes

The Chiefs selected Mahomes two picks before Watson in the 2017 draft, but Mahomes has played in seven fewer games than Watson after not seeing action his rookie season. Despite this, the two have very similar stats. Mahomes beat Watson in career passing touchdowns (79 vs. 72), but Watson has the edge in total yards (11,229 to Mahomes’ 11,123), total touchdowns (87) and a slight lead in career completion percentage (66.7 vs. 66.1).
