Patrick was listed among TIME’s 100 Most Important People ahead of the event, and there was a star-studded lineup in the Big Apple on Thursday night, with Dua Lipa, Kylie Minogue, and Uma Therman also in attendance.
Soon for Mahomes, the focus will firmly return to the football field and the Chiefs will have a chance to make history.
Another Super Bowl victory would make them the first team to record a ‘three-peat’ after emerging victorious in the February game in Las Vegas against the San Francisco 49ers.
The 28-year-old already has three Super Bowl titles to his name and many have highlighted him as a player who could eclipse Tom Brady’s seven Super Bowl titles.
But in the interview he gave to TIME to accompany the publication’s tribute, he said that family life will always come before football records.
Mahomes, who has two young children with Brittan, daughter Sterling (three) and Bronze (two), said: “I’ve looked, if I played up to Tom (Brady’s) age, my daughter would be 19, 20.” .
‘That would mean missing many youth sporting events and other commitments.
‘I would love to play that long… at the same time, I want to be there for my daughter. If I can do that, I will continue playing. But if I feel like she’s taking time away from my family, then I’ll know it’s time to leave.’
