The Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is one of the athletes to have investments in various business ventures. Even though he can reap enough money from the league, the quarterback is busy amassing his post-retirement wealth.

Mahomes is backing the NFT firm Dapper Labs Inc, which has collaborations with several famous entities across the sports fraternity. However, this move comes amid the ongoing crisis in the crypto world that plummeted its value in the market. Already there have been concerns over the safety, security, and credibility of these centralized currencies and these business platforms have been lacking support from the people, which led to a slump in its overall market.
But this move will ensure the fans engage more and make up for the void due to fewer celebrity backings. The 26-year-old will be the 2022 season’s face of Dapper’s “NFL ALL DAY,” alongside NBA stars like Michael Jordan and Kevin Durant supporting the company.
“I’m excited for fans to own their favorite Moments from the players and teams that they love, being able to connect directly with players — bridging that gap through ALL DAY is awesome,” Mahomes said in a press release, per reports. However, the details regarding the contract and deal have not been disclosed yet. In the coming days, it is expected to go public.
