10 Reasons You SHOULD Care About Super Bowl LIV
6. The NFL's Next Superstar!
While 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo ain't too shabby, it's his younger counterpart Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs who's taken the league by storm. In only his second year as a starter, the extravagantly talented Mahomes has raised the bar for quarterback performances and is sure to be the face of the sport and more for the next decade plus.
Like Tom Brady and LeBron James before him, it’s clear that Patrick Mahomes is that kind of once-in-a-generation athlete who’s set to transcend the limits of American sport as a renowned, instantly recognisable figure worldwide.
As the league’s reigning Most Valuable Player (essentially the most prestigious individual award that exists in the sport), an electrifying performance on the grandest stage is not only highly anticipated, but downright expected. Thanks to his mercurial talent and rocket powered arm strength, Mahomes has every chance to attract millions of new fans and make the upcoming game his coronation.
With Brady's time at the top slowly, finally fading, the NFL needs a new king, and Patrick Mahomes stands at the ready. Supported by his outrageous hair, and despite his preference for ketchup on steak, a victory would cement him as the poster boy for the strangely entertaining oddity that is American football.
