PATRICK Mahomes is one of the most exciting players in NFL history.

But the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has been fueled by “boring foods” on the way to Super Bowl glory.

Mahomes, 28, once revealed that he eats four to five small meals a day “to make sure I’m not eating too much at any one time.”

And the Chiefs sports dietician Leslie Bonci has told The U.S. Sun that Mahomes does not eat particularly interesting foods when he is on campus.

The NFL star rather prefers to stick with foods he is comfortable with, like turkey burgers.

“Consistency is more than eating the same things all the time. It’s part of familiarity and superstition – you eat what you like, you eat what feels good,” Bonci told us.

“And a lot of players [like Mahomes] do that. And we might say, ‘Oh that’s really boring!’ But it’s not boring to them.

“It works for them because those are the foods they like to eat, be it a turkey burger, some rice or a baked potato.

“You may say, ‘That doesn’t sound really intriguing’ but it doesn’t really matter.

“That’s part of what feels good for them to eat on a regular basis.”
