30 NFL records that could be broken this season

3. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs career passing yards leader

Patrick Mahomes will break dozens of records before his career is over. If he stays healthy, even the crazy Tom Brady records could fall. He is the best quarterback we’ve seen when looking at the total package. Mahomes might already break the Kansas City Chiefs franchise passing record right now.

Mahomes is currently second behind Len Dawson for the franchise record. It’s not surprising that Mahomes was going to own the record eventually, but this seems incredibly fast. Dawson is a Hall of Famer who is one of the best of all time. Yet, in what will be his seventh year, Mahomes is going to pass him.

There are only 4,266 yards between Dawson and Mahomes, with no other Chiefs QB in sight. Mahomes broke that mark in four of his five seasons as a starter. This one feels like one of the easiest records to predict. Even if there’s an injury, as long as it isn’t long-term, Mahomes can break this record.

Mahomes is coming off a Super Bowl victory, and even though he’s still celebrating, he’s going to dominate on the field. This is a player who can through for 4,300 yards in his sleep. As long as Mahomes has a semblance of being awake this season, he will break this record.
