Patrick Mahomes Credits Jesus Christ As His Example For How He Wants To Live His Life

NEW ORLEANS – One curiosity lingers about Patrick Mahomes. It follows him as if it was his shadow and other people wish they could understand it: 

How does he stay above the fray? How does he manage all that apparent peace and calm and success while seemingly avoiding all the trouble?

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is always at the epicenter of attention. The din of his tumultuous surroundings is the soundtrack of his professional life. This also applies to the parts of his personal life that leak into the public.

And regardless of what we learn or what we see around Mahomes, this guy lives as if in a hermetically sealed safe zone – seemingly untouched by controversy, danger, or usually even failure.

Mahomes somehow manages this even when those close to him become intimate with controversy.

So how does Mahomes do it? 

Where does this great quarterback find that well-defined pocket, if you will, to stay clean?

Mahomes would suggest it has to do with his faith in Jesus Christ.

"He's my Lord and Savior," Mahomes said Tuesday. "It's someone that I look up to every single day to decide what I want to do with my life and how I want to live my life. And so Jesus is everything to me at the end of the day."
