First 1st round QB drafted by the Chiefs in a 34-year span. First Chiefs drafted QB to win a game since Todd Blackledge. First Chiefs QB to win league MVP, throw for 5000 yards, 40+ TDs... etc etc. First Chiefs QB to win a Super Bowl (and SB MVP) in 50 years. The
However, another ground-breaking stat I heard the other day. Maybe people knew about this one, but it's the first time I've heard it.
Technically, Mahomes is the first Big XII QB to go to a Super Bowl. And I guess, win a Super Bowl. Ever.
Again, technically...
Troy Aikman was at Oklahoma, but transferred to UCLA. He was drafted as a UCLA QB, so I guess he's not a Big XII QB even though he actually is?
But before him, to find a guy to even make a Super Bowl, there's one. Just one. Vince Ferragamo out of Nebraska. And that only counts because Nebraska was once a Big XII school. Obviously when Ferragamo did it with the Rams, the Big XII was still the Big 8.
That's just jaw-dropping to me.
