Mahomes flashed a smile that went from one end of Texas to the other, but he mostly stood quietly by himself at a rather lavish Super Bowl party one Saturday afternoon in Houston during 2017. Now, he's the life of the party.
Mahomes had high hopes of becoming the next great quarterback at Tech, only to find himself playing behind Davis Webb and shuffling in and out with Webb during 2014. In 2015, Mahomes took over the starting role and passed for 4,658 yards and 36 touchdowns. Then in 2016, his junior year, Mahomes passed for 5,052 yards and 41 touchdowns. He was the 12th college player to ever pass for 5,000 yards in a season. It could have been more had the Red Raiders not gone 5-7 that season.
Mahomes was the backup to Smith in the 2017 season before the Chiefs pulled the string and traded Smith to the Washington Redskins. SInce then it's been Mahomes' ball club. With Kansas City's 35-24 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in the AFC Championship, the Chiefs are finally heading back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years.
