Patrick Mahomes reveals he’s already planning his retirement
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, fresh off his third Super Bowl title and named one of the 2024 TIME 100 Most Influential People, sheds light on the pivotal factor that will shape the longevity of his NFL career: family.
In an exclusive interview with TIME, Mahomes candidly discussed his aspirations of emulating the enduring legacy of retired quarterback Tom Brady, while maintaining a balance between professional excellence and personal life.
The 27-year-old emphasized that his daughter, Sterling Skye, now three years old, plays a central role in his future decisions regarding football.
“If I can play until Tom’s age, my daughter would be 19, 20 years old,” Mahomes revealed. “I would love to play that long.
At the same time, I want to be there for my daughter. If I feel like it’s taking away from my family time, that’s when I’ll know it’s time to go.”
