The NFL world was buzzing with excitement with the news that Patrick Mahomes received the biggest contract in North American sports history this week. The 2018 NFL MVP and Super Bowl winner could make around $503 million during this period. And he is one of the more daunting prospects facing the Carolina Panthers in 2020.
This represents a substantial commitment to a player that has become the face of the NFL in just three years as a professional. The Carolina Panthers did have the chance to take him at No. 8 overall in the 2017 Draft.
