With Patrick Mahomes aiming to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to another Super Bowl title, Alex Rodriguez shared his relief that Mahomes ignored his prior advice to choose baseball over football. In an Instagram post, Rodriguez reflected on his attempt to influence Mahomes, emphasizing his joy that the quarterback diverged from that path.

“I remember saying, ‘Patrick, there is no future in football. You are a baseball player,’” Rodriguez recalled. “Man, am I glad he didn’t listen to me.”

Even with an impressive baseball background and being drafted by MLB teams, Mahomes followed his passion for football, signing with Texas Tech. His decision rewards not just his career but also the fandom in Kansas City, that celebrates his prowess on the field.
