Sunday Superstars: Week 2 NFL icons include Patrick Mahomes, Todd Gurley, Melvin Gordon, JuJu & more

You should already know all about Pat Mahomes II after the highlight reels from Sunday, but if not ...

The Kansas City Chiefs QB completed 23 of 28 passes for 326 yards and six touchdowns in a 42-37 shootout with the Steelers on Sunday and his season TD total of 10 is a new NFL record for the first two games of a season. His Rookie Cards and autographs can be found throughout 2017 NFL and draft pick products -- he's got nearly 2,100 different cards so far. He's also got close to 1,000 different memorabilia cards and his autographs are pushing 900 different cards with nearly all of them from Panini America, though he does also have ink from Leaf Trading Cards and SAGE. He's clearly the new "it" guy for the league and collectors in this young season.

Keep reading for more guys who generated some buzz on the field this week.

-- Melvin Gordon III The Los Angeles Chargers' RB had an impressive year last season and this one has started off soft on the yardage but strong on the scoring. He had just nine carries for 28 yards and a TD on Sunday but he added six catches for 38 yards and two more TDs in a win over the Bills. He's actually averaging 70 yards a game as a receiver and that's not bad for a guy who was a 1,000-yard rusher. The Chargers might be off the radar of some -- his future Hall of Famer QB certainly is -- and that makes him worth watching on cardboard as well as his stat sheet. His Rookie Cards and first autographs can be found in 2015 boxes.

-- Todd Gurley II When it comes to Los Angeles RBs, it's the Rams' star who gets the spotlight and he, too, had a big game without big yardage on Sunday. This former Georgia Bulldog had just 42 yards on 19 carries -- that's a bit ugly for him -- but he scored three touchdowns in a 34-0 win over the Cardinals. He also caught three passes for 31 yards in what was a bit of a flip-flop in Week 1. He ran for 100-plus last week and had a receiving TD against the Raiders. His Rookie Cards also can be found back in 2015 boxes.

-- Stefon Diggs This Vikings WR didn't have the most catches or the most yards on Sunday but nine for 128 and a pair of touchdowns in a 29-29 tie with the Packers is one that's of note. What's even more of note? He didn't lead his team in catches for yards, either, as that was Adam Thielen but he only scored once. All of these things should make you take note of Kirk Cousins' arrival and keep all of them on your mental radar. Diggs' Rookie Cards are in 2015 boxes and might be the best bargains of the bunch as he's got three TD catches this season but had just eight all of last year.

-- JuJu Smith-Schuster Only two guys had more catches on Sunday than this Steelers WR who had 13 and they were all RBs -- Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley and Chris Thompson. Smith-Schuster's 121 yards were topped on his team by TE Jesse James and his 138 but this second-round pick out of USC last season seems to be the go-to guy on a team that's stacked with receiving stars and has a QB that can throw for 452 yards and still not win. (That's what Ben Roethlisberger did on Sunday.) Why didn't they win? That Patrick Mahomes II guy ...

-- Matt Brieda The 49ers RB led the league with 138 yards on just 11 carries and scored a touchdown on Sunday. He was one of just three 100-yard backs this week (so far) and had three catches for 21 yards, too. Last season he was an undrafted rookie out of Georgia Southern who had 465 yards and two TDs on 105 carries. After two games this year? He's at 184 yards on 22 carries. Almost half of his cards form last year are certified autographs and his ink can be found in Contenders, Contenders Optic, National Treasures, Vertex and Select. They'll be worth watching if he continues to play well because he's on a team with a rich hobby history and it's one led by a notable young QB whose popularity might rub off on others.

-- Phillip Lindsay The Denver Broncos have a history of pulling RBs out of nowhere but in the case of their latest 100-yard back he came from their backyard. This former University of Colorado star (with hair that could draw in fans alone) had 14 carries for 107 yards on Sunday. He hasn't scored a TD yet this season but he's got 29 carries for 178 yards in a pair of wins. Not bad for an un-drafted rookie who has just 29 cards -- all autographs -- found only in Panini America's Elite Draft and Contenders Draft Picks as well as three cards in Leaf Draft.

-- Antonio Callaway This fourth-round draft pick out of Florida finally made a mark in the NFL on Sunday with three catches for 81 yards and a touchdown for the Browns ... who still didn't win. His touchdown was an impressive one and based on that kind of a play he's a leading candidate to fill the cleats of Josh Gordon who got the boot this weekend. Callaway already has more than 100 different certified autos (way more than half of his cards are inked) and he's pretty cheap since he's not got the first-round gloss. If (when?) the Browns finally get on the board with a win, there will be guys who might get attention and he might be one if he plays well the rest of this season.
