With the 10th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs selected Patrick Mahomes, marking the first time they had drafted a quarterback in the first round since 1983. The rest is history.
Mahomes didn't immediately jump onto the scene as the starter, that wouldn't be until 2018, but once he became the official starting quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, the entire trajectory of the franchise changed for the better.
That wouldn't have happened if Mahomes had listened to a crucial piece of advice from one of his father's former teammates though. While appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, former MLB star Alex Rodriguez shared a story involving Mahomes when he was just 10 years old, which included some advice that the young Mahomes asked Rodriguez for.
