KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes recently added to his burgeoning collection of sports franchises by buying into the ownership group of Alpine Formula One race team.
He said on Wednesday he might not stop investing in franchises until he reaches his goal for his post-playing career, which is ownership of an NFL team. «Eventually, when I'm done playing,» Mahomes said of his interest in NFL ownership. «I think Tom [Brady] is trying to do it right now, but that's definitely where you want to get to.
I love this sport and want to give back in any way possible. When I'm done playing, obviously I'll be a Chiefs fan, but at the same time I want to have that competitive edge I've always had my entire life.» Mahomes noted that making the NFL ownership club can be difficult, so he would look at buying into other sports when he's done playing. «I'm always looking around,» he said. «I can't do it in the NFL while I'm playing, so I'm always looking around at other sports.
It's hard to get in all sports, NBA and all that different type of stuff, but I'm always keeping my ears open. If they give me the opportunity, I'm going to jump at it.» Mahomes' teammate, tight end Travis Kelce, and pro golfer Rory McIlroy are among the other investors in Alpine Formula One.
