KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Patrick Mahomes already has become an NFL icon — winning an MVP award in his first season as a starter, a Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP in his second, and returning to the Super Bowl in his third.
Now, the All-Pro Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback is also a Fortnite Icon.
Mahomes joins the ranks of other global sports stars — including LeBron James, Naomi Osaka and Neymar — with a skin in the wildly popular multiplayer battle game.
Decked out in a gladiator helmet with a robotic right arm and battle ax that glows red when swung, Mahomes’ skin, a likeness of him that players can battle as, became available at 7 p.m. on Wednesday in Fortnite when the item shop updates.
Other Mahomes skins expected to be available include a character clad in Oakley sunglasses with a red headband and one with Mahomes wearing sunglasses and a suit adorned with ketchup bottles dubbed “Mahomes Saucy Style.”
Players have a chance to win the Mahomes outfit early by competing in the Patrick Mahomes Cup on Tuesday.
