Patrick Mahomes jokingly mocked his Kansas City Chiefs teammate and best friend Travis Kelce for continuing to play football into his mid-30s.
The star quarterback, 28, who is six years younger than Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, 34, poked fun at her while accepting the Derrick Thomas Award at Missouri State on Friday.
When asked about the team’s signing of wide receiver Marquise Brown, the three-time Super Bowl champion said he was “impressed” with the 26-year-old’s “hunger.” .
“Obviously, he wants to do good and everyone wants to do good. But I don’t think he wants to be part of something special, of greatness. I understand,” Mahomes said. I heard these words in a video Posted by Fox 4 KC reporter PJ Green.
“We’re trying to build it here and we believe we started it and we want to continue it. We still have a young team outside of Trav,” he quipped.
“If we can continue to build this with as many people as we can who are hungry and want to win, we can continue this work.”
Kelce is the second-oldest player on the Chiefs behind long snapper James Winchester, who was born just two months before the “New Heights” podcast host.
Despite their age difference, Mahomes and Kelce have developed a strong friendship and have had a lot of success on the field.
The two have won three Super Bowls together, have plans to open a steakhouse in Kansas City, and previously led a $218 million investment in Formula One team Alpine Racing.
Their partners, Brittany Mahomes, 28, and Swift, 34, have also grown close in recent months.
The two attended several Chiefs games together across the country last year and celebrated the team’s recent Super Bowl victory at a starry night gala in Las Vegas.
