Just when you thought that Fortnite couldn’t get any weirder or wackier with its crossovers, things reach a new level of bizarre. On the 24^th, the game won’t be introducing an anime character or any faces from a movie or TV series. Instead, current NFL superstar and potential future GOAT Patrick Mahomes will be jumping into the battle royale. He’s arguably the best quarterback on the field right now and starting very soon, you’ll be able to make him arguably the best player in Fortnite.

For those unfamiliar, Patrick Mahomes came from Texas Tech and was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs with their 1^st round draft pick years back. The move was heavily criticized because many people were unsure of how just how good this kid could play. What’s more, they fully sat him his rookie year so that he could learn from the veteran quarterback Alex Smith.

The moment he got onto the field as the main QB, he took over the NFL. With his speed, with his grip, with his skills, he turned the Chiefs into a perennial contender. He’s been to four straight AFC Championship games, went to back-to-back Super Bowls, and won the first one he was in. He’s been a league MVP, already had a career’s worth of highlights in just a few years, and signed the first-ever $500 million dollar contract in NFL history when he resigned with the Chiefs.

Do you understand why he’s in Fortnite now?
