Kyler Murray

Patrick Mahomes

[{"selector":"#anim-0cf46297-02b6-4f50-8bea-572f40bd4e28","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0ced643e-47d5-4daf-88ef-f2189857b380","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-36a2925f-58c3-4f57-ba32-6b222cf8bd70","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -532.11959%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-54928c6b-46c7-4582-aaa1-a25c7942fe1c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-336973e9-1170-44c7-832b-65d4e39cbe7d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -1139.1416%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Patrick Mahomes has enough talent for 2 people, which kind of explains how he got drafted by both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Tigers within a 3-year span.

Wilson is an interesting case as the former Seattle Seahawk’s star is now on his 3rd team in the NFL.

The only player in history to play in both a Super Bowl and a World Series.
