Immortality is a lot to wrap your head around. We read about it in fables, hear about it in myths… But for us football fanatics, it’s got a different meaning. A meaning that might get realised by a quarterback in red and gold, slinging passes like he’s playing backyard ball. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are chasing something no team has ever done—three straight Lombardi Trophies. If they pull it off against the Eagles, they’re not just champions for the 3rd time. No! They would write their name in the NFL lore.

Talking in 3s is easy. 8 times, 7 teams did that before. The Chiefs Kingdom is doing it now. Did they get it? No! So, doing it is not easy. But that’s what we are here to see. If anyone can do it, it’s this Kansas team. Meanwhile, this is one side that’s making Mahomes one of the best players under center.

But that’s not only what separates him from the rest? Sure, the no-look passes, or the magic he pulls off on fourth down looks stunning. However, it’s the mindset. The best don’t just dominate the game; they think beyond it. That’s why KC’s #15 is becoming the NFL’s poster boy, sitting at the same table as Tom Brady in terms of legacy-building.

I mean, you can think we are exaggerating, but did you see the latest Fortnite promo? The game’s hyping his in-game character like it’s the next big thing. “It’s almost game time 🏈 Patrick Mahomes and more NFL Outfits are back!”

You can already hear rival fanbases groaning. But the game is the game! 

Patrick Mahomes isn’t just a name—it’s a brand, a movement, a storm that refuses to be tamed. At 29, and he’s already knocking at the door of history. So, it’s not a surprise that if he does achieve it, the GOAT conversation is about to get real. Brady’s shadow has loomed large over this league for years, but even the league’s embracing the whole new Mahomes era…

Why not? He has done it with the exact same calm and swagger with which TB12 used to drive it. But Pat has not just done that, he has made the ‘cool as a cucumber’ tag his. “He kind of flourishes in those moments when they’re the toughest,” Andy Reid said. You’d think the pressure of a Super Bowl would get to him. Nope. That’s just another Sunday for Mahomes.

However, those championship runs in February have become his thing now. Four trips, three wins, and stats that scream: ‘Hey, I did that in Madden’. SB LIV? A 10-point fourth-quarter comeback against the 49ers. LVII? Carved up the Eagles with a bum ankle.

And let’s not forget last year—overtime, fourth quarter, pressure at its peak, and Mahomes still found a way to rip San Francisco’s heart out. He’s got an unreal 17-game win streak in one-possession games. “Whatever he’s got to do to get us to the next level, to win the game, Pat’s going to do it,” Travis Kelce said.

But it’s not just that mentality that makes Pat stand out; it’s his brand value that we talked about. The NFL recognizes Mahomes’ future potential. So, who better to lead the charge?

When the NFL, Patrick Mahomes, and Fortnite became a thing

Back in 2022, the NFL made a bold move into the metaverse, teaming up with Fortnite to create NFL Zone—a virtual football world built for gamers and die-hard fans alike. This wasn’t just some quick promo; it was a fully interactive NFL experience, complete with team-inspired maps, a virtual tailgate, and even a Visa-sponsored stadium.

The goal? Hook a new generation of fans by meeting them where they already were—inside the world’s biggest battle royale. And guess who was front and center? The guy who was already playing the game off the field: Patrick Mahomes.

Fortnite didn’t just slap some generic NFL jerseys into the item shop. No, they made Mahomes an actual Icon Series character—the first NFL player to get the honor. He joined a lineup of global superstars like LeBron James and Neymar, proving his reach went way beyond football.

But this wasn’t some marketing gimmick. Mahomes wasn’t just in the game; he’d been playing it for years. “It started as an offseason thing,” he said back in 2018 when Fortnite was taking over the world. He’d squad up with his Chiefs teammates, running through lobbies just like he runs through defenses on Sundays. Fast forward a few years, and he wasn’t just a player—he was the face of an NFL-Fortnite crossover.

And now? He’s not just a gaming icon. He’s chasing a third straight Super Bowl, looking to make history in real life. The same kid who once spent his offseasons dropping into Fortnite lobbies is now dropping dimes at an all-time level. From Texas Tech to Kansas City, from MVPs to metaverse domination—Mahomes is proof that the game, in any form, is always evolving. And he’s always one step ahead.
