Patrick Mahomes: The Rise of a Champion
Kansas City, MO - The Kansas City Star is releasing a limited-edition pictorial book chronicling Kansas City Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes’ incredible ascension to NFL superstardom. This collector’s book, Patrick Mahomes: The Rise of a Champion, relives the pivotal moments of the Super Bowl MVP's NFL journey from his rookie season, to his relationship with coaches, teammates, fans and the community, to helping the Chiefs bring the Lombardi Trophy back to Kansas City after 50 years. Proceeds from the book benefit the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation’s 15 for 15 initiative, which provides resources that directly benefit organizations impacting the lives of children.
“The Star has been with me since the Chiefs made my dreams come true by drafting me,” said Patrick Mahomes. “I’m thankful that it is partnering with the foundation to celebrate all that Chiefs Kingdom has accomplished since 2017.”
Patrick Mahomes: The Rise of a Champion is a full-color, 160-page hard cover coffee-table style book with over 200 pictures and a special forward written by Patrick. The photos are the work of the Kansas City Star’s award-winning photographers, along with excerpts from its sportswriters and columnists. The book is limited to 100,000 copies.
