Forbes World's Highest-Paid Athletes 2025: on-field salary and bonuses[4]
One octagon for each phase of the life of Patrick Mahomes. Each of the eight axes is scored 0 to 5 against a written rubric from documented evidence, with its source; an axis without evidence is a gap, not a zero. There is no total and no ideal shape: it is a profile, not a ranking. Appearance and personality are not axes, because they cannot be scored from evidence.
Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback2018–Starter since 2018; three Super Bowl wins (LIV, LVII, LVIII), two NFL MVPs.
No total and no ideal shape: a longer spoke means more of that axis, so a long Misconduct spoke is more documented misconduct.
