When you think of the Kansas City Chiefs, QB Patrick Mahomes is synonymous with it. After being drafted as the 10th overall by the Chiefs in 2017, Mahomes became a force to reckon with when he became the starting QB in 2018. In his seven seasons starting for the Chiefs, the 28-year-old secured three Super Bowl wins and was named the SB MVP for all three victories. 

A recent revelation shows that there was someone else who nearly had Patrick Mahomes’ place as the Chiefs QB. See what former Cleveland Browns QB Johnny Manziel has to say about his stories that are rarely out for the public’s ears. And one of them is about the Chiefs and Mahomes. 

Johnny Manziel surprises his audience with a revelation 

Johnny Manziel joins The Rush with Maxx Crosby on YouTube to drop interesting revelations on how he almost became the Chiefs QB instead of Patrick Mahomes. He revealed, “Funny story I haven’t told very many people is I thought I was going to sign in Kansas City the same year that Mahomes got drafted. So I think if they wouldn’t have taken a quarterback, which thank God they did, I think I could have ended up there.”

Aka Johnny Football, Manziel entered college football with the Texas A&M Aggies as a dual-threat QB in 2012. He performed exceptionally in his college football career becoming the first freshman to pass for 3,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a season.

What happened to Johnny Manziel?

After his college career, he was drafted by the Browns in 2014 as a first-round No. 22 pick. Initially, he found success with the franchise but his inconsistency landed him in trouble. On top of that, his off-field controversies became his stumbling block which ultimately led to his dismissal from the team in 2015. Some of his off-field controversies include a drunken argument with girlfriend, lying to the team, gambling, and more.
