Patrick Mahomes vs. Lamar Jackson: A Look at Their Pre-Game Diet, Workout Routine, and Fitness Ahead of the AFC Championship

Star quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes are set to clash this Sunday. Both players follow a strict health and training routine that helps them reach the peak of their fitness. The quarterbacks have achieved the same stage and will fight for the AFC championship title. Still, there are glaring dissimilarities in their approaches to keeping themselves fit.

The Baltimore Ravens are hosting the AFC championship against the Super Bowl champions. The Kansas City Chiefs are ready to play their sixth consecutive AFC championship game under Patrick Mahomes’ leadership. The quarterbacks have shown that they are at the top of the ladder, and all credit goes to their workouts and diet, which helped them enhance their exceptional capabilities.

AFC spearheads: Polarising diet choices

Patrick Mahomes is a relentless quarterback on the field and strictly follows his diet. He loves to have multiple breakfasts and dinners every day. His first breakfast mainly consists of eggs, spinach, tomatoes, and cheese. He prefers a cup of coffee with a side of whole-grain smear bread for the second batch. Lunch and dinner are packed with calories that help him sustain the pressure of the game. Thanks to his wife, Brittany Mahomes, he cut down on sweets and fast food and started focusing on fruits and strength training.

Before the workout, he prefers to stay hydrated and fires himself up with energy drinks. On the other hand, Lamar Jackson still follows a simple pre-game ritual that dates back to his high school days. Jackson admitted that they had pasta every time before game day. He was told it “helps your brain” and provides the needed calories. He still follows the same routine and loves to have Shrimp Alfredo before every game.

Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes: difference in training

Patrick Mahomes follows an energetic workout regime with the help of his wife, Brittany Mahomes, a personal trainer. His fitness coach at the Chiefs said about Mahomes: “Routine is a combination of medicine ball exercises, track work, and strength training.” He specifically focuses on exercises that help him build his raw strength. He likes to cool down in the sauna, which allows him to relax and clear out toxins.
