Getty Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes has arrived for the Super Bowl in an interesting suit. The NFL posted video of the QB’s arrival on Twitter, writing, “@PatrickMahomes has arrived for his Super Bowl debut. #ChiefsKingdom.”
Patrick Lavon Mahomes II, as fans already know, is the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, who are squaring off against the 49ers. All eyes will be on the QB when he enters the football field, but his suit ensured all eyes were on him when he arrived too. Mahomes is having a great playoff run. Whether he will have a great Super Bowl is not yet clear.
His family is expected to root him on during Super Bowl 54 in Miami.
Here’s the video:

People Enjoyed Patrick Mahomes’s Sartorial Taste
GettyPatrick Mahomes’ unique voice has drawn comparisons to Kermit the Frog.
People on Twitter were generally fans of the QB’s fashion taste for the big Super Bowl arrival. Here are some comments:
“Look at that suit!”
“Great choice with that suit?”
Others weren’t as sure: “I am fairly sure my dad was wearing that exact suit when he married my mom in 1975,” wrote one woman on Twitter.
But another person was a fan, writing, “Nice suit @PatrickMahomes!! Love it!”
Of course, nothing really matters but Mahomes’s play on the field.
Patrick Mahomes, in case you’re curious, grew up in Tyler, Texas and was a standout quarterback at Whitehouse High School. It was always clear he’d be an athlete professionally, but the only question early on was in which sport. After all, his dad is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball. But Patrick took another route – to football – and Chiefs’ fans are glad he did. Patrick also excelled on the baseball field like his father.
Incidentally, here was the arrival of 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo in Miami.

He’s VERY dashing.
He’s got an interesting fashion sense too, but whether you like it is up to you to decide.
The Garoppolo/Mahomes face off has many fans excited.
