The Kansas City Chiefs will have frustrating memories from their Super Bowl experience in New Orleans earlier this month. The team and other franchises will be represented this weekend, scouting promising prospects at Tulane Stadium for the Allstate HBCU Legacy Bowl.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to be intensely interested in the development and success of prospects from Historically Black Colleges. He shared his thoughts on the annual showcase during his Super Bowl LIX media session, focusing on its impact.
“Those guys have talent,” said Mahomes. “Those guys have talent to make it to the NFL and I want to give them the same opportunities I received coming out. Being able to sponsor that event and showcase their talent is a little step that I can do in order to get some additional players in the league.”
So much love for @PatrickMahomes and the @15andMahomies Foundation!
In just three years, the @HBCULegacyBowl Bowl & Career Fair (now the nation’s largest HBCU Career Fair) have provided several thousand HBCU students an #opportunity to realize their dreams on and off the field.… pic.twitter.com/91kt6vShLJ

Under his foundation ’15 and the Mahomies,’ Mahomes made a multi-year commitment to the game in 2021. This was established before the game’s year. The game’s latest edition will take place on February 22nd, and many eyes will be looking for the multiple-time NFL MVP.
