Patrick Mahomes recalls a hilarious bromance origin story with Travis Kelce
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have an incredible relationship on the field. They've hooked up for countless receptions and made the Kansas City Chiefs a constant threat at all times during a game.
Their relationship off the field is arguably stronger. They have a genuine friendship that likely impacts their chemistry on the field.
Mahomes revealed where their relationship truly took off on the "New Heights" podcast with Kelce and his brother Jason.
Patrick Mahomes said:
"We go out and coach Reid had told us next day at like eight o'clock, we're gonna have a 15 minute walk through. Done. That's all you have on Sunday. So I've set eight alarms on my phone. I have more. I go out with the rookies, of course, I get out there and I see old Travis Kelce out at the same spot as I'm at."
The quarterback continued:
"And Trav's like come over here. Let's have a great time. So I have a great night, get home, have all my alarm set, I made sure of that. Go to sleep, wake up, not to an alarm. Wake up, look at the TV. And I see 8:15 on my TV screen on the resting thing.
"I didn't put my phone in the charger. So my phone died. Rookie mistake. So I obviously drove to the facility extremely fast. Dangerous."
He tried his best to cover his mistakes, but it was clear:
"I get to the facility and we're there already in the walkthrough... So I sit in the locker room and I'm sitting there shaking my head and they call me up to the office and I'm getting like the max fine all this different stuff. I feel like an idiot.
"And I just I thought it was so weird that the first question they asked me was, 'were you with Travis?' And I was like, no, no, not at all. Why would you even ask that? And long story short. Travis was also late. He got there five minutes before me."
Perhaps this chemistry can help them capture their second Super Bowl title next weekend.
How many years have Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes played together?
Travis Kelce has spent his entire career as a Chief. So has Patrick Mahomes. Kelce was drafted in 2013 and Mahomes was selected in 2017.
However, Mahomes spent the first season on the bench behind Alex Smith, so the duo have been throwing and catching together for the last five seasons.
