KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: Widely regarded as the touchdown machine, Patrick Mahomes has undoubtedly established himself as a legendary player in his first five years in the National Football League (NFL).

The 27-year-old Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is one of only two players in NFL history with 5,000 passing yards and 50 passing touchdowns in a single season.

Known for his ability to complete sensational plays seemingly out of thin air, Mahomes is the youngest player ever to win a Super Bowl title and league MVP, according to the Kansas City Chiefs' official website.

With jaw-dropping success, Mahomes also attracted questions about his physical stature. One question that has mystified fans from the start is "How tall is Patrick Mahomes?"

Patrick Mahomes’ height becomes a raging topic of discussion, especially after witnessing his record-breaking play on the field.

Patrick Mahomes’ height has been a widely debated topic since he was selected Kansas City Chiefs in 2017. Today, the star quarterback stands 6'2" (187cm) tall with 225 lbs weight, reported the Kansas City Chiefs' official website.

This impressive height makes Mahomes a foot taller than the average American male, who is estimated to be 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm) tall.

Patrick Mahomes’ height also puts him in a strong position on the field as it allows him to see over the offensive line and make throws that shorter quarterbacks would not be able to make.
