“Patrick Mahomes once served as a counselor at the Manning Passing Academy, a summer football camp for high school players that my dad founded in 1996,” Manning wrote, as he explained how he learned a lot from how Mahomes treated young people at his camp, as well as his arm strength which “jumped out at you,” said the legendary QB.
“This won’t be the last time you hear Patrick Mahomes identified that way,” Manning assured.
Patrick Mahomes has accomplished a lot in his young NFL career. Since 2018, he’s led the Kansas City Chiefs to two Super Bowl titles, three Super Bowl appearances, and six consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances. Mahomes has won two NFL MVP awards and two Super Bowl MVP awards, as well. He continues to set the bar of excellence for quarterback play in the NFL.
His influence on the game and the fans is clearly apparent. TIME’s recognition for #15 in Kansas City should come as no surprise.
The sports world reacted to the announcement.
Patrick Mahomes is now a two-time Super Bowl champion, a two-time MVP and a Time Magazine Top 100 honoree. The man is 27 years old.
