Patrick Mahomes might be the most popular guy in the NFL right now. Quite possibly, in all of sports.
Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to a 31-20 comeback victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV on Sunday night. It’s the Chiefs’ first Super Bowl win in 50 years, so it’s kind of a big deal.
Mahomes was named the Super Bowl MVP after completing 26-of-42 passing attempts for 286 yards and two touchdowns. He also had a pair of early interceptions and a rushing touchdown on the night.
Not surprisingly, there were a lot of people that wanted to talk to Mahomes after the game ended.
He told ESPN’s Jenna Laine that he had received 250 text messages from famous names like Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, and Troy Polamalu.
But there’s one person in particular that he still really wanted to hear from. Oklahoma City’s Chris Paul.
The person @PatrickMahomes REALLY wants to hear from after his Super Bowl victory? Chris Paul, who told him during a Mavericks game last year, “Hey, man, I love your game!” That’s who Mahomes has watched for years.

Get in those DMs, @CP3…

No word on whether or not the Thunder’s All-Star guard even has Mahomes’ number, but as Laine suggested, worst case, CP3 can always drop him a direct message.
