HISTORICAL QUARTERBACK PROFILE
Patrick Mahomes
Tier 1
Assigned under FindMeMyQB’s published achievement routes and explicit editorial exceptions. This is not an NFL designation or a validated predictive score. Pre-draft evidence is kept separate from NFL accomplishments.
Evidence collection in progress
This profile presents sourced paraphrases where available, not a complete scouting record. Historical republications are labeled. Missing data is not a negative evaluation.
Why Tier 1?
2 AP MVP awards (2018, 2022) and 3 Super Bowl wins as starting QB through the cutoff.
At least 2 AP NFL MVP awards AND at least 1 Super Bowl victory as the starting quarterback.
Evaluation cutoff: end of the 2025 NFL season, including its postseason and awards. The 2026 season is excluded. Future season updates wait until the postseason and awards are complete.
Before the NFL.
Pre-draft reports

Questions: Inconsistent footwork and pocket discipline; Unnecessary departures from clean pockets; Risky throws and transition from a wide-open college offense.

Compare the evidence.
Shared traits must be supported by comparable records, not inferred from success in the NFL. The core tables compare all 28 players using the same disclosed NCAA-passing and quarterback-start definitions. Mixed-entry measurement sources are labeled individually; film and advanced-stat archives are not complete.
Experience
College starts, seasons, age and development.
Production
Completion rate, passing efficiency, touchdowns and interceptions, with season and competition context.

Recruiting history, scheme, responsibilities and supporting cast.
Physical profile
Source-labeled Combine measurements and testing; missing values shown honestly.
The cohort table contains source-labeled descriptive comparisons. No predictive conclusions have been validated, and missing or conflicting records are not treated as negative results.
Source and interpretation policy.
Scouting summaries are paraphrases of the linked evaluator or reporter, not a consensus or verbatim report. A later republication date is not the original scouting date. This profile does not use an invented numerical scouting grade.
