Arrested Development star Henry Winkler reveals his fanboy moment meeting Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes is one of the most likable players in the NFL and has a legion of fans. However, there may not be a bigger one than The Fonz himself: actor Henry Winkler. The Emmy Award-winning actor met the Kansas City Chiefs star at SoFi Stadium as the Chiefs faced the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11. Winkler shared his experience of meeting the quarterback on The Rich Eisen Show.

Winkler said:

"Then I meet the owner of the Chiefs, Mr. Hunt. Oh, I meet his wife, his beautiful daughters who look like models. We take pictures and then I go back to where I'm standing. I'm told, 'Stand right here after the huddle.'"

Winkler added:

"And then Patrick comes running across the field the next moment. I'm so excited, I don't know what to do. We fist bump, then we hug. Then he is excited because he is giving me his jersey signed with Winkler on the back. I am now reduced to a 12-year-old girl screaming for the Beatles."

Winkler concluded by noting that he'd invite the 2018 NFL MVP over to his home for dinner sometime.

Winkler said:

"I can't believe it. Yes, [Mahomes] says to me, 'I'm going to take you up on your dinner.' I said, 'There's always a seat for you at my table.' He then goes running off."
