The accolades continue to roll in for Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes was once again named one of the world's most influential people on Tuesday as a member of the "TIME 100," marking his second-straight year making the list. In fact, Mahomes even earned a spot as one of the magazine's "cover stars" for this year's announcement.
Former Major League Baseball star Alex Rodriguez penned Mahomes’ tribute in this year's "TIME 100:"
"Patrick Mahomes has always had the heart of a champion. I remember Pat as a young kid, coming to practice with his dad to tee up baseballs for me and my teammates. I distinctly remember giving him the worst advice ever. "Don't play football. The money's in baseball." I'm happy to be wrong and glad he didn't listen! Patrick has transcended the game of football to become one of the most respected athletes of all time, both on and off the field. His insatiable desire to win is outdone only by his passion to give back and make the world around him better. Patrick's legacy will live on far beyond his playing days. And—as evidenced by his back-to-back Super Bowl wins—he's not done yet!"
The full list will be revealed in the days to come.
