We already knew Patrick Mahomes was making waves in the metro — but TIME Magazine, as part of its annual TIME100 roundup of the world’s most influential people, recognized his impact globally by naming Mahomes to its 2024 list.

Number 15 is known for going back-to-back. In this case, he also made the 2023 list with a profile written by Peyton Manning. This year, he not only got a writeup from former baseball star Alex Rodriguez and a full profile — Mahomes earned a spot on the magazine’s cover, too.

Luckily, your favorite local newsletter has been following the star quarterback’s career year-round. Catch up quick with some of our highlights:
