For the second time, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has been honored as one of Times Magazine’s Top 100 Most Influential People in the world. Mahomes was on the list back in 2020 and now returns as a “Titan.” Mahomes won his second Super Bowl back in February and continues to be one of the gold-standards as far as athletes are concerned.
Mahomes was recognized as a “Titan” alongside the likes of Angela Bassett, Lionel Messi and Beyonce.
Peyton Manning pens Mahomes’ excerpt
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. You can learn a lot about a person by the way they treat eighth-graders and ninth-graders during those hot days in Louisiana. Patrick was great with the kids. I remember his arm strength back then. It jumped out at you.
This February, at just 27, Patrick won his second Super Bowl MVP award. That arm strength still jumps out at you today.
Patrick is setting new bars. All these young players around the country are trying to imitate his sidearm throws and incredible plays. But I hope they know he’s also an incredibly hard worker. He appreciates the cerebral part of the game. And he understands his platform, as the MVP quarterback of the Super Bowl–winning team.
This won’t be the last time you hear Patrick Mahomes identified that way.
