Aikman's original tweet

Mahomes now has 33,021 career passing yards, which is the 45th most of all-time in NFL history.

With little fanfare, Mahomes leaped over a pair of quarterbacks on the NFL’s career passing yards list: former Bengals star Ken Anderson (32,838 yards) and Hall of Famer Troy Aikman (32,942 yards).

Mahomes previously eclipsed Aikman’s career mark for touchdown passes (248 for Mahomes to Aikman’s 165). And Mahomes is closing in on Aikman’s career completions (2,840 for Mahomes to 2,898 for Aikman).
