Now a father of two, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has a new perspective on football and life

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes is a much different quarterback than he was four years ago, when he helped the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl to end a championship drought stretching back five decades.
He's a different man, for that matter, a father of two these days with different priorities in life.
Sometimes the two intersect, one job making him better at the other.
“I think you learn a ton being a father, man. You learn how to be patient,” said Mahomes, who will lead the AFC champion Chiefs into a Super Bowl rematch against the NFC champion 49ers on Sunday. “You learn how to try to really boost people's confidence, especially your kids. Through seasons like I've had this last year, it's never losing hope, never going too negative in adverse times. Just continue to boost people's confidence, continue to strive for hard work and really be patient.”
