Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, has already achieved remarkable success, winning the Super Bowl three times and establishing himself as one of the football greats with much of his career still ahead of him.
However, the reality that a sporting career can’t last forever is something Mahomes acknowledges, even if just in fleeting thoughts about his post-football life.
With each Super Bowl victory comes an invitation to the White House, a place Mahomes is becoming increasingly familiar with. According to Fox4kc’s Sports Anchor Harold R Kuntz, Mahomes has turned into a sort of informal guide during these visits, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with teammates who are first-time visitors.
“It was cool that you kind of knew what to expect. So you get here, I am showing guys pictures on the wall. I’m showing paintings, some old furniture, everything. I felt I was trying to be a tour guide at some point,” Mahomes explained about his role during the visit.
He added, “So it was cool for that and to be on the stage and just get to look out, you see the Washington Monument and all the other things. It was a cool moment. Hopefully, I get to come back again. I appreciate it every single time.”
This interaction at the White House, particularly when President Joe Biden was pictured wearing a Chiefs helmet, has endeared the team even more to their fans, with many now affectionately referring to them as ‘America’s team’.
At this stage, the possibilities seem endless for Patrick Mahomes once he decides to retire from football.
