Patrick Mahomes is not just the best player in the NFL, he is now clearly the face of the league.
Everyone should know the line made famous in Spider-Man by now, the one about great power coming with great responsibility. Well, we’re beginning to see Mahomes realize his influence, and use it with the same effectiveness he does his arm.
Mahomes recently said he would not stick to sports saying, “We are people too", when asked about athletes speaking out. And his presence in a video alongside other players demanding the NFL state that Black Lives Matter and admit to being wrong in its handling of protests reportedly was a significant factor in commissioner Roger Goodell quickly doing just that, according to what a league executive told The Undefeated.
