Banged and Beaten
Patrick Mahomes made history in the 2020 season when he led the Kansas City Chiefs to their first Super Bowl appearance in 50 years. Not only that, but they won against the 49ers, who people thought were going to trample the Chiefs. Not too shabby for an under-26-year-old, right?

We know how the 2021 Super Bowl went down (Brady won, no surprises there), but we can’t fault Mahomes for that. After all, the guy was already beaten to a pulp before he stepped foot on the Super Bowl field. Well, there’s always next year, and the ten years after that.
