When Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a home built in Kansas City, he made room for a place to display his trophies and awards.
Although he’s been the Chiefs’ starting quarterback for just seven seasons, Mahomes already has accumulated quite a collection.
Some of those items, however, are more prominently displayed than others.
In years past, the Chiefs have had a lavish celebration when the players received their rings for winning the Super Bowl. But in the years they’ve made it to the Super Bowl and fallen short of winning the Lombardi Trophy, the Chiefs also have gotten a ring.
Mahomes was asked about the AFC Championship ring he got last month.
“I appreciate it because I know at the end of my career I’ll look back and remember those times with that team, but obviously the ultimate goal is a Super Bowl ring,” Mahomes told reporters. “You appreciate it because you know what you did with that team but it’s a reminder for you to go out there and be even better. I’ll put it like this, I put those in my safe and I put the other ones on top of my safe. I keep both but some of them I showcase a little bit more.”
