Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes penned intro to a forthcoming children’s book
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has compiled some amazing statistics during his short NFL career.
In just five seasons with the Chiefs (four as a starter), Mahomes has thrown for 18,991 yards and 151 touchdowns in just 63 regular-season games. He’s been chosen for four Pro Bowls, won an NFL MVP and a Super Bowl MVP award, and has helped the Chiefs win eight playoff games.
The numbers speak for themselves, and now Mahomes is lending a hand to help kids learn about math.
Mahomes has written an introduction to the book, “It’s a Numbers Game! Football,” which was written for kids aged 8 to 12, the publishers said.
The book, which will be released July 26, was written by Eric Zweig and published by National Geographic Kids.
Here’s a description of the book: “Beginning with a foreword written by Patrick Mahomes, this exciting and educational new book will teach kids all the ways digits and math factor into their favorite sport, from the countless statistics used to measure an individual player’s performance to the numbers used in defensive formations. Jam-packed with infographics, statistics, fun facts, sports history, and tips and activities to improve their own game, this book will help kids become a number-crunching football pro.”
