Mahomes and Allen are friends outside the gridiron

In 2022, Allen appeared in The Steam Room podcast, highlighting his relationship with Mahomes. Allen said: “I’ve spent a couple times around Patrick, but every time I’m around him, he’s just a great dude, he’s a great personality, he’s fun to be around. Obviously, all the respect that I have for him on the field. I think it’s a different vibe from what people think.“

Mahomes highlighted his bond with Allen in the same year by saying, “He’s a great dude, too. And so obviously when we’re on the football field, we’re competing against each other, and we want to beat each other’s teams, but I have a ton of respect for him, the player and person he is.” 

These QBs have managed to keep their gridiron aggression outside their off-the-field bond. Apart from football, both have had friendly golf matchups. However, despite all the on-field tussles, they nurtured a promising friendship. However, the QB friends will go against each other again in the gridiron.
