Plotting the magnificence of Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes is attempting to become the first quarterback in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row - that goes for his Kansas City Chiefs team-mates as well.
Arguably the best player of his generation, Mahomes nearly eclipses many who came before him in per-game performance, due to his consistency in nearly every part of his game.
Mahomes creates magic in the pocket and has shown exceptional running ability when opposing defences force him to scramble.

A quarterback is the most important position in the sport. They lead the offensive side of the team and their ability to pass accurately, adjust strategies, and remain composed under pressure is crucial for success.

A lot of Mahomes' game is down to his passing like his rating suggests, with a career completion percentage of 66.6% in the regular season, which is the eighth best of all time.
In the play-offs, he steps it up a notch to 67.8%, the second best in NFL history.
He also boasts an astonishingly low interception rate with only 1.8% of his passes picked off in the regular season and 1.1% in the play-offs, top 10 among all quarterbacks.
