Six weeks ago, few people knew of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes love of ketchup.
But the story of Mahomes putting the condiment on steak, macaroni and cheese and other foods went viral. Now, he has landed an endorsement deal.
Hunts ketchup announced Wednesday in a news release that it had signed Mahomes as a brand ambassador.
Ive been a fan of ketchup for as long as I can remember, and the thick, rich flavor of Hunts ketchup delivers every time, Mahomes said in the release. Im thrilled to be joining the Hunts team.
Hunts released a video to announce Mahomes joining its team.
There is no word on whether or not Heinz will honor its pledge to give Mahomes ketchup for life if he throws 57 touchdown passes this season.
The Chiefs play the Sea-hawks in Seattle on Sunday.
