National Football League superstar and quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes is coming to Fortnite. The first NFL player to join the Fortnite Icon Series, Patrick Mahomes will be joining the likes of LeBron James and Harry Kane as sports icons who have made their way to a game that celebrates its celebrity and pop culture characters. Fortnite has long evolved past its original vision and embraced the design philosophy that anything and everything can happen in a match – and if the rumors of aFortnitecollaboration with Lord of the Rings are true, Patrick Mahomes might find himself facing off against Gandalf the Grey in the near future.

For the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, the Fortnite team at Epic Games lovingly designed two outfits based around Patrick's gladiator mindset, bionic arm, and his unapologetic love for ketchup. His base default outfit is a casual, ready-for-practice look with a sleek red hoodie that bears his initials in the shape of a gladiator helmet. The alternate styles that players can choose for the outfit include the Gladiator Mindset Style (featuring shades, a headband, and an enhanced arm), as well as the Gameday Gladiator Style (featuring a gladiator inspired visor). The second outfit features Patrick Mahomes in a snazzy suit with a ketchup bottle print.
