Kansas City Chiefs Outstanding Duo Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce take home $6 million, per NFLPA
The Chiefs’ outstanding duo has seen their popularity grow over the past year.
Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce’s ever-growing popularity is proving to be quite profitable, according to Sportico.
The duo’s on-field magnificence helped lead Kansas City to its second world championship in as many years — and Kelce’s newfound relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift pushed his notoriety to new heights.
Patrick Mahomes earned $3.6 million in group licensing and marketing income during the 12 months through February, according to the NFL Players Association’s annual report filed this week with the U.S. Department of Labor. The tally led NFL players and was up 53% from the prior year, when the Chiefs also won the Super Bowl.
The licensing income of Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, soared 177% to $2.4 million and ranked fourth among NFL players, behind Mahomes and quarterbacks Jalen Hurts ($2.7 million) and Josh Allen ($2.5 million)
One can only imagine what these percentage increases may look like should the Chiefs indeed pull off the elusive three-peat.
