The Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes are two of the most recognizable brands in the sports world, and Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. took notice of the defending Super Bowl champions’ excellence in their Week 7 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
The Royals’ season came to an abrupt end last week after they fell to the New York Yankees in the ALDS.
Mahomes attended one of the Royals’ games in the MLB playoffs, and the rising young infielder was quick to give the superstar quarterback a shoutout on Instagram after he scored an ‘angry run’ touchdown against the 49ers.
Check out Witt’s Instagram post, which was shared to Twitter by Chiefs Wire legend Charles Goldman on Twitter:

Expect Witt to continue following Mahomes’ reign of dominance in the AFC when Kansas City attempts to keep its undefeated record intact against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8.
