Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes once considered going to law school
Somewhere in an alternate universe, Patrick Mahomes is suiting up for a completely different field.
Speaking to NBC Sports at Radio Row ahead of Super Bowl LVII, Leigh Steinberg, Mahomes agent, revealed the Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback had aspirations for a career that was not American football.
Patrick had aspirations to be a lawyer, Steinberg said. And had he not gone ahead and played professional football, I think he wouldve gone to law school.
It didnt happen obviously because he entered a career that takes all that practice and time, but it wouldnt be beyond question that he end up going to law school later.
Would Mahomes make a good lawyer? Steinberg gave his case.
Hes got high intelligencehis preparation and focus would be top, top flight. And hes meticulous about preparation and study. Hes got a killer memory, and there you go.
The Chiefs must certainly be relieved Mahomes opted not to pursue that passion, as he led them to victory in Super Bowl LIV in 2019 and is looking to do so again in 2023 against the Philadelphia Eagles in Arizona.
