Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is making moves — and we’re not talking about his improvised passes or snow globe trick plays . We’re stepping off the field and onto the pitch for this one.
The Kansas City Current announced Mahomes as a new co-owner . He’s the first active NFL player to have equity in a National Women’s Soccer League team, according to the club.
Patrick follows his wife, Brittany Mahomes — who was a part of the original ownership team — along with Angie and Chris Long.
“Brittany and the Longs have done an incredible job building a world-class organization,” he stated. “I am excited to join another championship-caliber club as it continues to make history.”
