Patrick Mahomes is considered by many to be the best quarterback and overall player in the NFL these days, and in just over a week, he will play for his third world championship when his Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.
But he is more than just an incredible athlete — he’s also one of the most likable superstar athletes in any sport today.
Per the NFL’s official Twitter account, cameras captured a lighthearted moment between Mahomes and a child who clearly idolizes him.
“I want to be just like you,” the young fan said.
Sometimes, NFL players are stereotyped as egotistical jocks who care mostly about their own stats, money, and fame and are, at best, indifferent to the fans who support them.
But in reality, many players are family and community-oriented, and many of them do inspiring work in their communities to assist kids and the underprivileged.
Mahomes’ Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl champs, and despite plenty of issues this season, especially on offense, they will have the opportunity to establish themselves as a legitimate dynasty.
This year’s Super Bowl will be a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, where Mahomes got his first ring by overcoming a late 10-point deficit against the 49ers.
This Niners team is more talented and seasoned than that one was, while the Chiefs don’t have a consistently reliable wide receiver threat anymore.
Kansas City has been pegged as a slight underdog versus Brock Purdy and company, but that is likely just the way Mahomes and his crew like it.
