He flips on TV, usually ESPN-where occasionally he'll find that he's the topic of discussion-drinks his coffee, then drinks a pre-workout supplement concoction, in that order. Though he flourishes in chaos on the field, off it Mahomes adheres to a strict regimen. It was an anxious moment, and yet when Mahomes tells me this, he seems relatively unbothered. What if he lost a year when he was playing at historic levels and somehow still getting better, when his popularity was at an all-time high? What would that feel like? What would he do with all that time? The stats and accolades, though, crazy as they are, have nothing on the highlights- oh, man, the highlights! An endlessly loopable reel showcasing a fluid, kinetic, and improvisational style of play that overturns notions of what football, a clunky game of schemes and slow, grinding attrition, can be.Įven though those financial concerns have evaporated in a $503 million poof! the coronavirus created an entirely new set of problems. And now he's the favorite to win MVP this season (whenever that might be). Manning did it in his 15th season as a starter, Mahomes in his first. During that MVP season, he threw for more than 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns, something that only Peyton Manning has done. That's what happens when you manage to earn league MVP and Super Bowl MVP honors before you've rounded 25. Last season, merchandise bearing his name or likeness (everything from jerseys to trading cards to bobbleheads) outsold that of every other player, including Tom Brady, who'd had a two-year hold on that particular popularity contest. “We are building something special.”įor all the unknowns that swirl in and around the NFL, one thing about its future seems rock solid: It will center on Patrick Mahomes, who, at 24, is already the face of the league. “I couldn't be happier that I’m going to be in Kansas City for a long, long time,” he told me via text after the news broke. It’s the most lucrative contract in the history of sports, and a deal made at a moment when coronavirus could have a dramatic financial impact on NFL revenue. In a summer of tumult and change, as even seasoned vets like Drew Brees are fumbling along, Patrick Mahomes is stepping up and looking for ways to utilize his new leadership role in the league.Ĭoncrete proof that Mahomes has that type of juice came only a few weeks later, after he finalized that contract he’d been negotiating: a ten-year deal reportedly worth up to $503 million. This is a league in which 70 percent of players are Black but only three coaches, two general managers, and zero majority owners are a league in which the response to Colin Kaepernick's protest of police brutality was to promptly run him out of a job. While nearly every big American corporation was addressing the significant work to be done on racial justice and equality, the NFL was being asked to address a particularly egregious track record. Just a few days earlier, Mahomes had joined more than a dozen other Black NFL stars-Odell Beckham Jr., Michael Thomas, and Saquon Barkley among them-in a powerful 71-second video, calling on their employer to condemn racism.
