Stroupe uploaded the following picture on his social media handle. Mahomes is seen grinding it out as he gears up for the 2020 season.
Mahomes was instrumental in last year’s run to the Super Bowl in Miami. The 2018 NFL MVP led the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl win in 50 years.

Mahomes got rewarded for his recent exploits with the bumper contract extension on Monday. As per reports, the deal is worth north of $450 million with added bonus-related guarantees attached to it.
