The very thing which makes the NFL special is the same exact phenomenon which can convince fans Maxx Crosby Jersey , coaches, and general managers that certain players are better than they truly are. It is the fact that each game means so much and every Sunday people are glued to the television sets to watch what could happen. This gets raised to another level of late because highlights are given out so quickly that everyone wants to be the first person to see greatness take off. This level of amazement rises when the postseason is underway and each game continues to be more scrutinized.There are players who have great seasons of success. There are those who have one year in which they accomplish more than they were believed to be capable of, or players who get the hype going for them after one year and it rises given their excellent play. Those seasons can be remembered because they took a team further than it should have, or were being talked about on all the national shows as the next big thing at their position.While there are a lot of players who that’s the case for, there are many others who are remembered for one moment. Sometimes it might be a game in which they dominated for stretches and were ranked high in the record books for yards or touchdowns. In other cases, it could be a single play that defines their entire career and constitutes it as a success. Those one-hit wonders will forever be etched in our minds because of what they were able to do on one Sunday for two to three hours. And that is what makes the game of football special. The kids from Kansas City’s inner-city football program were already in the kind of happy-go-lucky mood that comes with a modest holiday shopping spree when they lined up to take a picture. Some were laughing. All were smiling.Then their idol stepped out from his hiding place and the screaming started.Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had taken time out of his day off Tuesday to show up at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Leawood, Kansas Foster Moreau Jersey , and surprise the kids from KC United. He took photographs, signed autographs and presented the team’s founder, local pastor Adrian Roberson, with $5,000 to fund next season.“I have no words for it,” said Roberson, who broke into tears.Mahomes was appearing at the Dick’s event for Sports Matter Joey Bosa Jersey , a program to help underfunded youth sports programs. Sports Matter has helped more than 1 million young athletes across the country, and Dick’s has committed $50 million to giving back to youth sports.Mahomes is arguably the hottest player in the NFL this season, his record-setting performance as a first-year starter helping the Chiefs to a 9-2 record. And not surprisingly, that has caused the demands on his time to skyrocket, from the unending interview requests to meet-and-greets and other events.Somehow, the 23-year-old quarterback has managed to take everything in stride.“I don’t know if it does something for me. It’s just part of being in this community,” Mahomes said the following day Tony Pollard Jersey , before stepping onto the practice field to prepare for Sunday’s trip to Oakland.“This community loves football and they love each other,” Mahomes continued. “It’s more than just football. It’s being a good person and giving back to the community.”Mahomes has certainly ingrained himself in the community.He threw out a first pitch at a Royals game over the summer. He was the grand marshal for a NASCAR race, wearing a cutoff jersey from the T-Bones, the local minor league baseball team. He pops up at stores, concerts and restaurants as if he were anybody else, even sitting front row at Sprint Center last week to watch his college, Texas Tech Noah Fant Jersey , play in the Hall of Fame Classic basketball tournament.When he showed up at a Verizon store Monday for a meet-and-greet, store officials were worried the crowd would be too large and asked that his appearance not be publicized. Several hundred people still found out, forming a line that snaked around the building as they awaited his arrival.“I feel the excitement and I feel the love not only for me, but for the Kansas City Chiefs,” Mahomes said. “It’s special. This is a special place. There’s great people here. That’s one of the main reasons I love playing for this team.”100<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:View from the sidelines: NFL cheerleaders 2018Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports | Raj Mehta
