Patrick Mahomes' net worth: How much is the trend-setting Chiefs QB worth?

He's the one who accepted the torch from Tom Brady. He's slinging it sidearm on the field and hanging out with buddies Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift off the field. He's the face of the NFL. He's the Kansas City Chiefs' three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

Patrick Mahomes' Early Life

Patrick Lavon Mahomes II was born Sept. 17, 1995, in Tyler, Texas. He is the son of former MLB pitcher Pat Mahomes, who pitched 308 games for the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates. Mahomes attended Whitehouse High School, in Whitehouse, Texas, where he played football, baseball and basketball.

Three-Sport Star in High School

Mahomes has been outspoken about how he believes the skills he developed in baseball and basketball have attributed to his success in football.

He averaged more than 19 points and 8.3 rebounds per game as a senior, including a career-high 49 and 37 during a regional game. He could have averaged well into the 20s had he been more selfish, said the school's athletic director at the time, Richard Peacock, per MaxPreps.com.

Mahomes was a beast in baseball, too. At 14, he reached the finals of the 2010 Junior League World Series as a shortstop on a team from Tyler. In high school, he bested future 33rd overall draft pick pitcher Michael Kopech, by throwing a no-hitter with 16 strikeouts in a 2-1 victory.

Mahomes was ready to give up on football before his junior year, but his mother, Randi, convinced him to stick with it, according to RoyalsReview.com. He threw 92-93 mph and drew the attention of MLB scouts, but he insisted he was committed to playing college football.

He didn't play quarterback until the third game of his junior season. Mahomes had 4,619 passing yards, 50 touchdown passes, 948 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns as a senior. He was named MaxPreps Male Athlete of the Year for 2013-14.

He only received three scholarship offers to play college football. Rivals.com rated him a three-star football recruit, and he was ranked the 12th-best dual-threat quarterback in his class.

He was selected in the 37th round by the Detroit Tigers in the 2014 MLB Draft, but he didn't sign and instead attended Texas Tech University.

Patrick Mahomes' Path to the NFL

Mahomes' college football career began as a backup to future third-round NFL Draft pick quarterback Davis Webb. He started four games after Webb was injured, and he threw for a Big 12-record 598 yards with six touchdowns and one interception in a loss to Baylor.

He played baseball the spring of his freshman year after starting four games at QB, and it wasn't as seamless as it was in high school. He pitched once as a freshman and played minimally as a sophomore, but that was about it for the diamond.

He committed to football full-time as a junior and broke NCAA FBS records for single-game total offense with 819 yards. He tied the NCAA record for single-game passing yards with 734. The Red Raiders struggled, though, finishing 5-7. In the last game of the season, Mahomes threw for 568 yards and six touchdowns in a win over Baylor.

Taking the NFL By Storm

He announced he would forgo his senior year and enter the NFL Draft, where he was selected 10th overall by the Chiefs. His rookie contract was a four-year deal worth $16.42 million with a $10.08 signing bonus. Mahomes would sit most of his rookie season behind Alex Smith. The Chiefs went 10-6 but lost in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs.

The Chiefs traded Smith to make room for Mahomes for the 2018 season. Mahomes threw for 5,097 yards, 50 touchdowns and 12 interceptions and made his first Pro Bowl. They went 12-4 and lost in overtime to Tom Brady and the eventual Super Bowl-champion New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.

Mahomes assaulted the NFL record books and went to seven straight AFC title games, winning the Super Bowl three times. He won two NFL MVPs and three Super Bowl MVPs.
