Best NFL Player and Super Bowl

Aged just 24, Patrick Mahomes already has the title of best player in the NFL Professional Football League (2018) and a Super Bowl, won on the wire in early February against the San Francisco 49ers (31-20) . The league and the public were allured by its very spectacular style, which mixes talent of smuggler except standard and taste for the calculated risk taking.

He has repeatedly demonstrated his propensity to get out of compromised situations, especially in the playoffs, carried by an unshakable confidence. Mahomes' new engagement is more than double the old NFL record, owned by another quarterback, Matt Ryan, of the Atlanta Falcons, who had extended for $ 150 million over five years in 2018.

Under contract until 2031

The player is now linked to the Kansas City Chiefs until the end of the 2031 season, this extension coming into effect at the end of his current contract (which still has 2 seasons), in 2022. The exact contract structure is not not yet known. It is crucial in NFL, a league which traditionally only guarantees part of each contract, but often pays a large signing bonus.
