Mahomes relishes battle with history at Super BowlPatrick Mahomes could become only the third quarterback of African-American descent to win the Super Bowl on Sunday. MIAMI: Patrick Mahomes will battle against the weight of history as well the vaunted San Francisco defence as he attempts to join an exclusive club of Super Bowl winners on Sunday. Mahomes, the son of former Major League Baseball pitcher Pat Mahomes, will become one of only seven African-American quarterbacks to start in the Super Bowl when he takes to the field at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Mahomes is in the vanguard of a crop of young African-American quarterbacks who have emerged to dominate the NFL this year. Nine years after that came his Super Bowl win with the Redskins.
