NFL players make a lot of money. But over the course of his 10-year, $503 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, none will make more than quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Here's the crazy part: the money Mahomes will make through his off-field investments will most likely dwarf what he earns as a player. To merely call Mahomes a quarterback is to dismiss his business acumen.
In the half-decade since he was drafted, Mahomes has acquired a diverse list of endorsement deals, including Adidas, Airshare, BioSteel, Bose, CommunityAmerica Credit Union, DirecTV, Electronic Arts, GEHA, Hy-Vee, Molson Coors Brewing, Nestlé, Oakley, Panini, Procter & Gamble and State Farm.
