When Mahomes was drafted I think most people had the understanding that he had a chance to be special.
I think after the 2017 Broncos game it was more fathomable that the end of the Alex Smith era was much closer to being realized but I had not yet assumed Mahomes was "special". The 2018 preaseason games were definite eye openers as well but I still had doubts that he could do it consistently.
I think week 2 going into Pittsburgh against a team that dominates the Chiefs every single year and putting up 42 points in a win was the I think the first time I thought to myself that Mahomes was special, and not that he was going to be special in a year or two down the road but that he was going to be an elite quarterback right away.
The trade to move up and grab Mahomes will be not only a Chiefs defining moment but a NFL defining moment.
