At least that's what CBS Sports predicted this week.

CBS Sports made several "bold predictions" this week for the 2023 NFL season. And one of their predictions is that Mahomes will become just the second quarterback to pass for 5,000 yards in consecutive seasons.
Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees accomplished the feat from 2011 to 2013.
From CBS Sports: Drew Brees is the only quarterback to throw for 5,000 yards in consecutive seasons, accomplishing the feat from 2011 to 2013. Mahomes will join him this year, as Andy Reid will set up the Chiefs quarterback to have another massive season throwing the ball. The development of Skyy Moore and rookie Rashee Rice will be key, but Mahomes still has Travis Kelce in his prime and another year of Kadarius Toney in the system. Kansas City has different players on offense, but is still deep at the skill positions with Mahomes mastering reading opposing defenses. Mahomes is so quick at getting rid of the ball. If he gets the proper protection and can stay upright, he'll be able to throw for 5,000 yards again. The Chiefs offense shouldn't miss a beat.
When the Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins a year ago, there were plenty of folks out there who suggested that Mahomes' numbers would suffer.
Instead, Mahomes' numbers are as good as they've ever been. It's not often that you can tell a quarterback is a Hall of Famer before they even turn 30, but that's the case with Mahomes.
