In this uplifting illustrated middle-grade biography, acclaimed sports journalist Dan Wetzel tackles the real-life story of the NFL's brightest rising star, quarterback Patrick Mahomes!

In 2018, Patrick Mahomes stepped onto the gridiron as the new, inexperienced quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. Just twenty-two years old at the time, football fans wondered if this young man could live up to lofty expectations. Little did they know, a star was about to be born.

With a cannon for an arm and confidence beyond his years, Patrick threw fifty touchdowns in his first full season, the youngest to ever do so. A year later, he helped Kansas City win a Super Bowl for the first time in fifty years. With limitless potential, Patrick has not only emerged as the NFL's most dynamic and exciting player, but he's also become a role model to kids across the country. Filled with sports action and comic-style illustrations, this inspiring biography tells the story of the new king of pro football.
