Patrick Mahomes is an American football quarterback who has played for the Kansas City Chiefs since 2017 and is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks in National Football League (NFL) history. He has led the team to three appearances in the Super Bowl, which they won in the 2019 and 2022 seasons. In addition to his illustrious career, Mahomes has a string of high-profile global endorsements. Let’s take a look at one of football’s brightest stars.
Early life
Born on September 17, 1995, Patrick is the son of Pat Mahomes, a former Major League Baseball pitcher. Patrick showed plenty of big-league potential in baseball – while playing for Whitehouse High School in 2014, he struck out 16 in a no-hitter, generating a record-breaking speed of 93mph. Later on, he accepted a football scholarship from Texas Tech University. In an interview with Esquire, the athlete credited his baseball experience as the foundation that paved the way for his massive success in football.
Professional career
The Kansas City Chiefs selected Mahomes in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft with a $16.42 million contract. In 2021, he signed a 10-year, $450 million contract extension with the Chiefs – the biggest payout in NFL history at the time. In the 2018 season, he broke the NFL record for the most touchdown passes in a quarterback’s first three career games and won the Chiefs’ first-ever NFL MVP award. The 2019 season saw the Chiefs’ first Super Bowl appearance since 1970. Mahomes suggested the “Jet Chip Wasp” play and threw a 44-yard deep pass, helping the team clinch their first Super Bowl victory in 50 years. That year, Mahomes became the youngest quarterback to be named the Super Bowl MVP. In the 2022 season, he led the Chiefs to a 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles and was again named Super Bowl MVP. To date, Mahomes is also a two-time NFL MVP.
Major endorsements
Mahomes was announced as Oakley’s brand ambassador in 2019 – the first football player ever to partner with the brand – and had a clear Oakley Prizm visor built into his helmet. Mahomes and the global eyewear brand have since done four collaborations to date. Last month, Mahomes put forward a new spin on the BXTR model from Oakley sunglasses, as well as their Resistor model as well. The BXTR Metal model features the same Prizm technology from Mahomes’s helmet, with plant-based frame material for all-day comfort and durability. Its nose pads feature Unobtanium technology, which increases grip with perspiration, making them ideal for athletic activities. As a brand known for quality eyewear, Oakley’s partnership with the outstanding Mahomes is a testament to their shared values – striving for excellence while inspiring others to make a positive impact. Alongside Oakley, Mahomes has also worked with brands like Adidas, Bose, Electronic Arts, and AirShare.
Personal life
Mahomes has been with his wife, Brittany Mahomes, since they were in high school, boasting an 11-year relationship. The two met in middle school, attended prom together, and tied the knot in Hawaii on March 12, 2022. They share two children – Sterling Skye, born in February 2021, and Patrick Lavon III, born in November 2022 – and are co-owners of the Kansas City Current. The family lives in a Kansas City mansion featuring a par three golf hole and a 50-yard football field. Lately, Brittany Mahomes has been spotted with pop star Taylor Swift, as both women are linked to Chiefs players, with Swift currently dating tight end Travis Kelce.
Conclusion
With the quarterback staying with the Chiefs until at least 2031 and numerous achievements already under his belt, Patrick Mahomes is well on his way to becoming one of the NFL’s most historic players. He is an athletic inspiration not just to fans of the NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs but to new generations of football players hoping to follow in his footsteps. For someone with such immense talent and dedication, it’s only the beginning for Patrick Mahomes.
