Patrick Mahomes: It'll be 'awesome' to learn from Smith

New Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes logged plenty of firsts after getting picked 10th overall by Kansas City on Thursday night.

He was the first Texas Tech quarterback to come off the board in the top 100 since 1989, when the Chargers picked Billy Joe Tolliver in the second round. He's also the first Red Raiders first-round pick since Michael Crabtree in 2009.

But even more a rarity, he's the first (and only other) quarterback drafted in the first round by an Andy Reid-led team. The other was Donovan McNabb in 1999.
