Patrick Mahomes Leaves the NFL World Teary-Eyed With His Wholesome Pregame Interaction With Legendary Hollywood Actor

Patrick Mahomes is brilliant on the field and off it. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback engaged with one particular fan before the Chiefs’ Week 11 game in Los Angeles. But, this was not an ordinary fan interaction because the fan in question was legendary Hollywood actor Henry Winkler.

But how did the meeting of two very different worlds come to being? Winkler was featured on the Rich Eisen show on a promotional tour. The actor was keen about the NFL above all. An excited Winkler asked Eisen, “Have you met Patrick Mahomes?” The actor proceeded to state that Mahomes was one of his heroes. Winkler gushed about Mahomes as any die-hard fan would. For a legendary actor who is older than Mahomes by five decades, that statement sounds absurd. But, perhaps, that is the magic of Mahomes’ performances. Their interaction warmed the hearts of fans across the board. To top it off, Mahomes made a very sweet gesture, making the interaction all the more wholesome.
