Mahomes was a regular fixture on the ball field as a child, considering his father, Pat Mahomes, had an 11-season career in MLB. This includes two seasons with Jeter's cross-town rival, the New York Mets.
Mahomes has previously stated the impact Jeter had on him as a child, noting that his interaction with the shortstop showed him "a lot about what it takes to be a pro."
The two could be considered colleagues now as they both have had involvement in MLB ownership. Jeter notably was a minority owner of the Miami Marlins before he sold his shares in 2022 while Mahomes is a minority owner for the Kansas City Royals.
Jeter is set to interview Mahomes Sunday ahead of the latter's matchup against the Chicago Bears. The NFL released a teaser to the conversation, which is set to air at 12:00 P.M. ET on Fox.
