Patrick Mahomes is the one reason as to why the Kansas City Chiefs are relevant right now, according to Fox Sports analyst Chris Broussard. In a recent appearance on ‘First Things First’, Broussard explained how the Chiefs are relevant only because of Patrick Mahomes and not anyone else.
Chris Broussard’s words about Mahomes are definitely surprising, especially since many believe that the Chiefs rose to relevancy only because of tight end Travis Kelce’s romantic relationship with pop-singer Taylor Swift.
“They are developing fans throughout the country that are into them because of Mahomes, but not like the Cowboys, where the Cowboys have millions of fans all over the country, whether they are good or bad,” Broussard said on First Things First. “I submit to you, when Mahomes is done, nobody’s gonna be thinking about the Chiefs, other than people in Kansas City and the handful of people that are growing up right now becoming Chiefs fans because of Mahomes in different cities… The Chiefs is about Mahomes, to a lesser extent, Reid and Kelce. It’s about their quarterback, though, and when he’s done, they’re not gonna even be thought of the same way,” Chris Broussard said about Patrick Mahomes being the reason for the popularity of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes has been playing for the Kansas City Chiefs since 2017 after the team selected him as the tenth pick in the very first round of the NFL draft. Before the league, Mahomes played college football for the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
