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.
How tall is Patrick Mahomes?
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.
How tall is Patrick Mahomes compared to other NFL Legends?
Patrick Mahomes’ height undoubtedly makes him appear more comfortably tall than most NFL players. Apart from Mahomes, Jimmy Garoppolo, Lamar Jackson, and Aaron Rodgers are among the few NFL quarterbacks who stand at 6ft2 (187cm).
However, Patrick Mahomes’ height falls short when compared to some taller NFL players including Richard Sligh (standing at 7′), Dan Skipper (6'10”), or Ed “Too Tall” Jones (6'9”).
Even outside his sport, he is taller than many leading sportsmen including Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Roger Federer, Stephen Curry, and Virat Kohli.
Patrick Mahomes height compared to Tom Brady
One of the most intriguing rivalries between quarterbacks is the one between Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Tom Brady and Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes.
Brady may have announced his retirement from the game but his comparison to Mahomes doesn’t seem to settle anytime soon.
One of the most debated comparisons between Brady and Mahomes is their height difference. While Mahomes stands 6ft2 tall, Brady easily defeats him with a 6ft4 height.
Is Patrick Mahomes taller than his wife?
Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, is widely reported to have a height of about 5 feet, 9 inches, making her nearly half a foot shorter than the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback.
Patrick and Brittany were high school sweethearts, who got engaged in September 2020, on the same day he received his Super Bowl Championship ring.
They had their first child together in February 2021 and got married in a Hawaiian wedding in March 2022. Their second child was born in November 2022.
