When he's not making headlines for nights out with teammate and friend Travis Kelce and his uber-famous girlfriend Taylor Swift, Patrick Mahomes is dominating the NFL spotlight as one of the game's biggest stars.
Known for his lightning-quick feet and ability to make split-second plays, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has rapidly earned a reputation as one of the greatest players ever.
Drafted in 2017 at just 22 years old, Mahomes has since made his mark as a three-time Super Bowl MVP, the signer of the largest contract in American sports history, and one of only two NFL players ever to throw for 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns in a single season.

But none of this would be possible without confidence-something Patrick emphasizes in his partnership with Invisalign.
"Confidence in myself comes into play the most for me when things aren't going our way on the field," he tells Men's Journal. "The confidence that each of us carry is contagious to the people around you. It's important to stay locked in and not let one bad game affect the next."
In an interview with PEOPLE, Mahomes adds that confidence isn't something you wake up with one day-it's built over time through years of chasing goals and always putting your best foot forward, whether on the field, at work, or with family. No matter the situation, confidence is what gets you through.
"For me, confidence is at the core of everything that I do and how I show up every day," he says. "Invisalign's mission to boost self-confidence with a great smile is a game-changer."
For anyone struggling with confidence, Patrick advises making small daily promises to yourself and following through on them.
"It's really about consistency and discipline," he says, when reflecting on his success. "I focus on sticking to the same routine every single day-even in the off-season. That's what makes all the difference for me."
