Everybody has a favorite superhero while growing up and NFL superstars are no different. For the Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, that place belongs to Batman. Mahomes had a good discussion on the topic just before Halloween 2020. And he gave his reasoning for thinking of Batman as a real superhero.

Mahomes has proved to be no less than a superhero himself whenever he has taken the field for the Chiefs. And he even has his Robin position sorted.

Patrick Mahomes recognizes Batman as a real superhero 

Patrick Mahomes gave his reasons for recognizing Batman as a real superhero. Speaking on ‘The Drive’ podcast just before Halloween in 2020, Mahomes said Batman is a real superhero with the way he is able to fight.

“Yeah, he’s gotta be a Superhero, the way he’s able to fight and the way he’s able to move around and do the things he does. I mean it obviously helps to be pretty rich, but I think he does a good job of being able to handle himself in one-on-one combat,” the Chiefs QB said.

And for Mahomes, mutation certainly doesn’t matter when it comes to being a superhero. “If you ask me, that plays and Batman certainly is a Superhero, with or without a mutation,” he added.

Mahomes certainly feels very strongly about the issue that has plagued the comic book world for ages. And in real life too, Mahomes has been nothing less than Batman himself for the Chiefs and he has given the fans hundreds of reasons to prove that.

The Chiefs’ Batman 

The Chiefs found their Batman in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft. Since then, Mahomes has turned the whole team into a bunch of formidable superheroes who can take down anyone that stands between them and their goals. He even found his Robin in tight end Travis Kelce.

Both Mahomes and Kelce form a formidable unit, with the TE giving the QB an offensive outlet that he can trust.

Mahomes has led the Chiefs to two Super Bowl appearances in his short career. While the Chiefs lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2020, they fell short against the ‘Captain America’ of the NFL Tom Brady in 2021.

Mahomes has thrown 23,487 passing yards in his career in a total of 1,922 completions. He boasts of a completion percentage of 66.3% so far since 2017. Mahomes has scored 186 touchdowns through the air while 11 of his touchdown scores have come from the ground. 

The Chiefs’ superhero has helped the team to clinch the AFC East divisional title in the current season. How far can he take them this season?
