1. Patrick Mahomes
After a Super Bowl-winning season with the Kansas City Chiefs, Mahomes is looking to carry on where he left off. He just signed the biggest contract in sports history this week with a 10-year extension worth up to a reported $503 million. If the Chiefs repeat the feat, Mahomes will be the first quarterback since Tom Brady to win back-to-back Super Bowls. It would be quite a feat.
Lamar Jackson is close but nobody else is on his level right now. Of course, things may change as the season progresses but it will take a lot. In 2019, Mahomes threw for the seventh-most yards in a season (4,031) in Chiefs history despite missing two-and-a-half games because of an injury. He’ll hope to get back above 5,000 in 2020, but stats only mean so much. He won the Super Bowl MVP in 2019 after winning league MVP in his first year as a starter the prior season.
