”The season was amazing,” Mahomes said. “But being a dad now, too, and getting to enjoy that in the off-season, I think that’s been the best part.”“Being able to go home and see my daughter and see my son, I have a better understanding of being present and enjoying it. That translates to the football field. And we’ve been on a heck of a run.
But I’m trying to enjoy those moments, ’cause I know it doesn’t last forever, even though we want it to,” he added.“I want to be someone that the kids can look up to and say, ‘Hey, I want to be like Patrick Mahomes,’” he spilled why he gave the green light to collaborate with the Netflix series so that the kids can look back one day and witness everything that made their father who he was.
