What Patrick Mahomes is able to do when he fires the ball downfield for the Kansas City Chiefs is nothing short of sensational.
We’re sure you’ve heard this before several times, but Patrick Mahomes is nothing short of a magician whenever he has the ball in his hands. What he’s been able to accomplish with the Kansas City Chiefs early on in his career has been incredible.
What makes Mahomes so special is no doubt his rocket for an arm. With a flick of his wrist, he’s able to send the pigskin 50-60 yards. But, just how good has Mahomes been on his deep throws? The following stat may blow your mind.

Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill are one of the most lethal combos in the NFL
Since 2019, Mahomes and superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill have connected for the most touchdowns of at least 30 yards, hooking up 10 times. That’s simply outrageous. Time and time again we’ve seen Mahomes and Hill make opposing defensive backs look foolish out on the field. Add in Mecole Hardman, who is third on this list, and that makes for an explosive combo.
With Hill’s speed and Mahomes’ arm strength, it truly is a match made in heaven. That’s a big reason why the Chiefs have been to the AFC Championship Game the past three years and the Super Bowl in back-to-back campaigns, taking home the Lombardi Trophy in 2019.
Come next season, Mahomes and Hill will look to create even more magic together, with that number of 30-yard touchdowns expected to grow. Again, with Hill’s wheels, the two are a threat for a huge play on any given snap. Should Kansas City end up getting back to the Super Bowl next season, there’s no question Mahomes and Hill will play a monster role in helping the team accomplish that goal.
