"I've known him for seven years," the two-time NFL MVP said after the team's organized team activities (OTA's). "I judge him by the character that he shows every single day ... that's someone who cares about the people around him, cares about his family and wants to make a good impact in society."

Michael Maurice Pennel Jr. (born May 9, 1991) is an American football nose tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL).

Mahomes has led the Chiefs to six consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances and four Super Bowl appearances since becoming the team's starting quarterback in 2018. He is one of five quarterbacks in NFL history to win three or more Super Bowls as a starter.

On the Peacock broadcast, Kaylee Hartung reports that Arrowhead Stadium has a heating system that makes the conditions a little easier — for players, at least. Thousands of feet of piping beneath the field are pumping heat to keep the ground from freezing. The Chiefs installed the $2.2 million heating system in 2016.
