Patrick Mahomes completed a career-high 66.3-percent of his passes for 4,740 yards and 38 touchdowns in 2020. He went 14-1 as a starter, and led the Chiefs to the Super Bowl for the second year in a row.
With Mahomes under center, the Chiefs will undoubtedly be among pre-season favorites to reach a third straight Super Bowl in 2021.
Mahomes has dealt with injuries before, but few with as extensive of a recovery as this one. It will be interesting to see how he responds to the adversity of recovering from surgery – no matter how successful it went.
