Breaking records is nothing new for Patrick Mahomes. The first quarterback to win league and Super Bowl MVP honors before his 25th birthday, the youngest quarterback ever to be named Super Bowl MVP when the Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV, He equaled two other great quarterbacks, Dan Marino and Peyton Manning, in having 4000+ passing yards in three of their first four NFL seasons.
Mahomes is also the fastest quarterback to reach pretty much every record. The Chiefs superstar reached 10,000 career passing yards in 34 games, requiring two games fewer than previous record holder Kurt Warner. He threw for 9,238 yards and 75 touchdowns in just 30 games, a feat that made him the fastest quarterback to reach the combined milestone of 9000+ yards and 75 touchdowns.
