Is Patrick Mahomes the greatest football player of all time in college AND the NFL?

[Hammock Parties]

No other QB has ever thrown for 5,000 yards and/or 50 in the NCAA and the NFL.

Yards-wise, you have several dudes who have thrown for 4k in college and in the pros. The next closest dude is Big Ben who had 4,486 in college and 4,952 in the NFL.

After that you get

Matt Ryan (4500/4900)
Phil Rivers (4500/4800)
Jared Goff (4700/4500)
Scott Mitchell (4300/4300)
Deshaun Watson (4600/4200)
Jameis Winston (4000/4100)
Derek Carr (4100/4000)

Touchdown wise, the next closest dude is Drew Brees. He threw 39 during his best college season and has two NFL seasons of 40+.

After that you get

Peyton Manning (36/55)
Dan Marino (37/48)
Andrew Luck (37/40)
Ben Roethlisberger (37/32)
Derek Carr (50/32)

There are some pedestrian names who have joined the 4k club, and but given the combination of yards AND touchdowns, and the fact that there are seven hall of famers here that will never do what Mahomes has done in his first season...

I'm pretty sure Mahomes is the greatest football player of all time.
