“I built a relationship with God. I’ve tried to keep that as I’ve gotten older, ” the NFL champion quarterback said.

“Faith is huge for me. Just being able to stay on the right track and be able to know I can live life knowing I can be free and God will have me and he’ll always accept me. ”

It doesn’t stop there. Mahomes is free to live his faith on the field too.

Before every game he walks the field praying at the goal post. The quarterback thanks God and makes sure to glorify Him too. This man has not let fame go to his head or get in the way of his eternal objectives and beliefs.
