Will Patrick Mahomes become the NFL’s standout player this season?

Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes is predicted by many to take the leap to become the NFL franchise’s undisputed best player this season.
The quarterback is beginning to gather great consistency in his game recording just shy of 5000 passing yards in each of his past two seasons demonstrating his ability to create for his teammates.
The passing yards led to 38 passing touchdowns in the 2020 regular season and 37 in the 2021 season, Mahomes creates touchdown opportunities for the Chiefs’ receivers at a remarkable rate, and his ability could perhaps be likened to a young Tom Brady.
Such length of praise for a player that is still relatively young for his sport may seem premature to some but the early progress Mahomes has made to become one of the NFL’s best players in a short period of time is similar to Brady’s development.
Both had fast starts to their careers, quickly nailing down starting spots while pushing aging quarterbacks out.


In terms of betting options for the coming season, Bodog’s sportsbook with the best NFL odds offers Kansas City at +1000 to win the Super Bowl, as they are one of the early favorites to go all of the ways and win the sporting world’s showpiece event. The Chiefs find themselves regarded so highly as a result mainly of their quarterback’s excellence.
Mahomes’ passing ability is currently unrivaled within the game, even compared to legends such as Tampa Bay Buccaneers Brady and Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers who signed an extension this year. The 26-year-old dictates the tempo of every game he plays in, if the opposition’s defense is not particularly strong he will ensure his team punishes them and wins by a considerable margin. In tight games, where his side is in desperate need of a touchdown late on, he is the man to find a receiver in space and create that vital touchdown opportunity.
Mahomes has already led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory showing he is more than capable on the highest pressure stage of all.
He spearheaded Kansas’ comeback win as they trailed 20-10 to the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth quarter of the tense affair. The Chiefs went on a 21-0 run to win the game largely helped by Mahomes passing ability, as he repeatedly passed long range to his teammates to not just overturn but comfortably surpass the deficit.
This secured the Chiefs’ first Super Bowl victory in 50 years, and individually Mahomes showed the world his capabilities as a young rising player set to pose a problem for opposing defenses for years to come.


Mahomes will hold realistic ambitions of repeating the feat this season, which would surely lead to the quarterback placing his name firmly into history as one of the greatest players of all time. The likes of the Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay have stronger overall rosters than the Chiefs but Mahomes’ presence elevates his team to an incredible level.
Without Mahomes Kansas City would not be able to compete as one of the best teams in the league, and some would argue he is the NFL’s greatest player currently active already.
