TIME magazine has announced Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is one of its 100 most influential people of 2020. Mahomes is one of three sports figures named as Titans on the TIME’s list. The others are NBA star Dwayne Wade and Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton.
Mahomes’ achievements on the field — being named NFL MVP in his first season as Chiefs starting quarterback and Super Bowl MVP the year after — have given him the platform. But it’s what he’s done with it that has landed him on this list, as new Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Derek Jeter noted in Mahomes’ introduction for TIME.
