Patrick Mahomes, despite his young age, is the name of a legacy for many. This is true to the extent that the star QB is referred to by many as young G.O.A.T. This status of the footballer was further solidified on Sunday night when the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

Chiefs fans have multiple reasons to celebrate the weekend, from winning the game to witnessing the attendance of several popular figures. However, there is one more reason for the Chiefdom to be joyous. In his 84th career game, the 28-year-old Mahomes achieved something unique that sets him apart from all others, earning him a crown jewel in his illustrious career.

Patrick Mahomes adds another feather to his hat

Patrick Mahomes made NFL history by becoming the fastest player to reach 200 career touchdown passes, achieving this remarkable milestone in just 84 games. Mahomes accomplished this feat during the first quarter of a thrilling 23-20 victory for the Kansas City Chiefs, connecting with tight end Noah Gray on a 34-yard touchdown pass. This achievement surpasses the previous record held by Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino, who reached 200 TD passes in 89 games.

Mahomes now stands among an elite group of HOFs, with Aaron Rodgers (currently on the Jets’ injured reserve list) achieving 200 TDs in 99 games, Peyton Manning in 106 games, and Brett Favre in 107 games. Notably, Travis Kelce has been the primary recipient of Mahomes’ regular-season touchdown passes, with 48 receptions from the star quarterback.

As Mahomes claims the top spot in the record books, his incredible speed and accuracy when throwing a pass just cannot be overlooked.

Is Patrick Mahomes one of the fastest throwers in the NFL?

There’s no denying Patrick Mahomes’ unrivaled talent when it comes to passing and setting records. In 2017, at the NFL Scouting Combine, Mahomes showcased his incredible throwing ability, registering an official speed of 60 mph on his pass.

However, in a friendly competition against former NFL QB David Carr, Mahomes initially lost the warm-up throw to Carr. But he quickly rebounded to win the next three rounds, with the highest speed clocking in at a jaw-dropping 62 mph. This marked the fastest recorded pass ever thrown by an NFL player.

With such extraordinary performances and records to his name, it’s no wonder why Mahomes has earned the nickname of the young GOAT and is frequently compared to legendary quarterbacks like Tom Brady and others in the league.
