Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes learned the hard way when former NFL linebacker Brandon Marshall pranked him during the Super Bowl press conference. What better way to skip to the punch than using Icon and Halftime performer Rihanna as the bait.
During the press conference, Marshall stated that “Rihanna came out and said that you are the greatest quarterback ever. Hearing that, how does that make you feel.” The gullible NFL player responded saying, “It makes you feel great. She’s going to crush it at halftime. I have family members that are more excited about the halftime show than they are the game, so whatever Rihanna says is like the Gospel.”
How you gonna do our quarterback like that? 😂@PATRICKMAHOMES | #SBLVII PIC.TWITTER.COM/OZKKMTBFFM
