Alex Rodriguez recalled giving Patrick Mahomes the 'worst advice ever' when he was younger and far away from becoming the NFL superstar he is today.
Patrick Mahomes grew up around baseball more than he did football. He admitted in an interview with Time magazine published on Tuesday that baseball was his 'first love' as he watched his father, Pat Mahomes, pitch for several teams in Major League Baseball. Alex Rodriguez, who played with the Kansas City Chiefs star’s father when the two were on the Texas Rangers in 2001, recalled the 'worst advice' he gave to the future quarterback.
Patrick Mahomes has always had the heart of a champion. I remember Pat as a young kid, coming to practice with his dad to tee up baseballs for me and my teammates,' Rodriguez wrote as Mahomes was named one of the 'most influential people in the world.' 'I distinctly remember giving him the worst advice ever. ‘Don’t play football. The money’s in baseball.
However, his football stardom took off with the Red Raiders. The Chiefs ended up trading up in the draft to select Mahomes, and in seven seasons, Kansas City has made four Super Bowls, winning three.
