Well, let me tell ya ’bout this fella, Patrick somethin’-somethin’, the football player. Folks keep askin’ when did he get picked for the big leagues, you know, the draft thingy. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I heard things, seen some stuff on the TV.
Patrick Mahomes, that’s his name. Yep, the Kansas City Chiefs, they took him. Heard it was in 2017. Not too long ago, was it? Seems like just yesterday I was watchin’ them old fellas playin’. Time flies, I tell ya. Anyways, they picked him pretty early, somethin’ like the tenth fella they chose overall. Tenth, that’s what I heard.
Now, some folks was surprised, I reckon. See, there was this other young quarterback, Trubisky, somethin’ like that. He got picked before Patrick. Can ya believe it? But the Chiefs, they knew what they was doin’, I guess. They saw somethin’ special in that Mahomes boy.
- 2017 NFL Draft: That’s when it all happened. Mark it down, if you care about such things.
- Kansas City Chiefs: They’re the ones who got him. Lucky them, I say.
- 10th overall pick: That’s pretty darn good, even if some other fella got picked first.
I heard tell that first year, Patrick, he didn’t play much. Sat on the bench, watchin’ another fella, Smith, I think his name was. Learnin’ the ropes, they say. But then, boom! He got his chance, and boy, did he shine! Throwin’ that ball all over the place, runnin’ around like a chicken with its head cut off, but in a good way, ya know? He’s excitin’ to watch, that’s for sure.
People talk about him all the time now. He’s a big deal, I hear. Signed some big contract, worth a whole heap of money. Millions and millions, they say. More money than I’ll ever see in my life, that’s for sure. Good for him, I guess. He works hard, runnin’ and throwin’ and all that. It ain’t easy, I tell ya.
Now, somethin’ funny I heard… this Patrick fella, he coulda played baseball too! Yep, the Detroit team, they wanted him back in 2014. Can you imagine? He coulda been swingin’ a bat instead of throwin’ a football. But I guess football was his callin’. He stuck with it, and look at him now.
Some folks say the Browns, they needed a quarterback that year too. But they didn’t pick Patrick. They picked someone else, Garrett, I think. Maybe they’re kickin’ themselves now, who knows? Hindsight’s 20/20, they say. Easy to say what you shoulda done after it’s all said and done.
So, when did Patrick Mahomes get drafted? 2017, tenth overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s the long and short of it. And he’s been makin’ waves ever since. Throwin’ touchdowns, winnin’ games, and makin’ folks proud, I reckon. He’s a good player, that Patrick. Even this old lady can see that.
Now, don’t ask me too many more questions about football. I know what I know, and that’s about it. But if you wanna know when that Mahomes boy got drafted, well, now you know. 2017. Kansas City Chiefs. Tenth pick. Got it? Good. Now, let’s go get some sweet tea and forget about all this sportin’ stuff. My head’s startin’ to spin!
Key things to remember about Patrick Mahomes’ draft:
- Drafted in the 2017 NFL Draft.
- Picked by the Kansas City Chiefs.
- Was the 10th overall pick.
- Only one other quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky, was drafted before him.
There ya have it. That’s all I know about it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my biscuits.
