The career of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes can hardly be compared to many players in sports. The early success and unique charm of being the face of the league while performing at an exceptional level and securing championships can only be claimed by a few stars throughout history.
A player who understands similar early success is Baseball Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, who had more than a fair share of success throughout his legendary career. The New York Yankees great, who currently works for FOX Sports, recently did a special one-on-one interview with Mahomes at Arrowhead Stadium. The entire segment is set to air as part of FOX NFL Sunday’s pregame coverage ahead of the Chiefs hosting the winless Chicago Bears.

The two superstars have crossed paths in the past as Jeter wrote a feature in honor of Mahomes for Time’s annual list of the 100 most influential people of 2020. Jeter also faced off against Mahomes’ father during his career on multiple occasions.
