Patrick Mahomes Joins the Fortnite Icon Series
By Nathan Fusco
Patrick Mahomes has joined the Fortnite Icon Series, becoming the first NFL player to do so. The last Icon Series member was British YouTuber and Content Creator Ali-A. Patrick Mahomes shared his excitement about joining the legendary game.
“Getting to be a part of a game that I have played for so long is a dream come true. We incorporated my signature style from head to toe, had some fun with my love for ketchup and you know I had to flex on them with the bionic arm. It was awesome to be involved every step of the way on the creative and design of my Outfit. The creative team at Epic Games crushed our vision – watching a side by side of my Emote and my actual signature celebration is pretty wild to see. Can’t wait for fans to see it.”
