Top NFL-NBA player comparisons: Khalil Mack football’s Lebron? | NFL
Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs and Steph Curry, G, Warriors
Both players were standouts in college, playing for non-traditional powers to great fanfare. At Texas Tech, Mahomes led the NCAA in passing yards, total offense and total touchdowns in 2016. Curry’s Davidson teams were a staple of March Madness. Both had doubters who thought they were gimmicky players heading into their respective leagues, and they slid in the draft much further than they should have, with the Chiefs taking Mahomes 10th overall in 2017 and the Warriors snagging Curry seventh overall in 2009. Safe to say those notions have been put to rest.

Patrick Mahomes May Already Be the Best QB in Football
Some believed Mahomes could succeed as the Kansas City Chiefs starter. To think that he would immediately become a front-runner for NFL MVP? That just isn’t something that unproven young quarterbacks do.
A Christmas gift for every NFL team | Touchdown Wire
Kansas City Chiefs
An entire defense is too much to ask. We aren’t working miracles here. Instead, we would love to give the Chiefs a gift of an even serviceable pass defense. Or extra timeouts. Andy Reid always needs extra timeouts.
Jon Gruden is Already Smack Talking the Chiefs Before Week 17 | 12up
It may not be a smart move to call out one of the best teams in the NFL right now. Gruden’s gotten a bit overconfident after the Raiders defeated the Denver Broncos 27-14 Monday. While his statement may be a good way to pump up the fans, he may have also unintentionally given extra motivation to a Kansas City Chiefs team coming off back-to-back losses.

Top to bottom, 1st-round QBs impacted NFL along with others | ABC News
Even though Mayfield and the Browns were eliminated from playoff contention with two games left, the impact of the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma was profound. Think of what it says that the Browns stayed in the postseason chase coming off an 0-16 season, and despite a midseason coaching change.
The NFL and the NFL Players Association have requested a report from the independent administrator of their drug-testing program into the questions raised by Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid about the number of times he has been tested this season.

Patrick Mahomes Week 16 film review: a Christmas week edition
Patrick Mahomes is what pulled me into writing in the FanPosts for Arrowhead Pride. Once he was selected, I started putting more content up. I’m glad I did. He’s blessing us with us some of the rarest performances and moments you’ll ever see. I say this a lot, but he’s normalized the spectacular. This week wasn’t perfect, but he still gave us some MVP moments.
