In this uplifting illustrated middle-grade biography, acclaimed sports
journalist Dan Wetzel tackles the real-life story of the NFL's brightest
rising star, quarterback Patrick Mahomes!
In 2018, Patrick Mahomes stepped onto the gridiron as the new,
inexperienced quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. Just
twenty-two-years old at the time, football fans wondered if this young
man could live up to lofty expectations. Little did they know, a star
was about to be born.
By season's end, Patrick threw a whopping fifty touchdowns, the youngest
to ever do so, and took his team nearly all the way to the Super Bowl.
And the next season, he became the youngest quarterback ever to win
Super Bowl MVP! With limitless potential, Patrick not only emerged as
the NFL's most dynamic and exciting player, but he's also become a role
model to kids across the country. Filled with sports action and
comic-style illustrations, this inspiring biography tells the story of
the new king of pro football.
