Patrick Mahomes' incredible 2023 season saw him become the first quarterback in over 20 years to win a Super Bowl and MVP.
It came after a season in which many had written him off as far and away the best in the NFL, with him somewhat struggling in 2021. The Chiefs did not make the Super Bowl that season, losing to the Bengals, and just a few months later were dealt an even bigger blow. After their disappointing season, the franchise's front office traded away superstar receiver Tyreek Hill.
This brought more questions surrounding Mahomes ' future, with some even projecting them to miss the playoffs, before going on to win the Super Bowl in dominant fashion.
