Patrick Mahomes Got His Chiefs Teammates Elite Fitness Gifts

PATRICK MAHOMES KNOWS how to treat his teammates. Being a QB1 doesn’t stop when you’re off the field, and the 3x Super Bowl champ showed his appreciation for his Kansas City Chiefs offensive line by dropping off massive hauls of swag for them in the locker room. No wrapping was necessary, as the goods were fittingly delivered in one of YETI’s rugged Tundra Hauls, colored in that bright KC red.

Our own squad here at Men’s Health couldn’t help but notice that amongst the high ticket items there were a couple top notch fitness gifts. Being fans of the Whoop 4.0 and Normatec Elites, we know from our own experience that these products are game changers in personal wellness and recovery.

“[Normatec] boots are something I utilize,” Mahomes told Men’s Health in a past conversation about his recovery process. The quarterback uses them several times a week, to recover from practice or his rigorous training sessions with long-time trainer Bobby Stroupe. “Putting them on makes sense to me.”

Battery life	4 hours
Compression levels	7
FSA/HSA eligible	Yes

The Normatec Elites are the most advanced of Hyperice’s industry leading air compression boot line, and were just released by the brand this summer. The normal price for these boots is $999, a few hundred dollars more than the latest gen of its flagship Normatec 3s. For anyone who is interested in recovering like a pro athlete themselves, they are $100 off thanks to Hyperice’s holiday sale.

So what’s so special about these boots? They use dynamic air compression to increase circulation in your legs, which may aid recovery. Past versions have required a bulky control unit that you need to carry around and attach to the legs, but the Elites have everything built in, while still only weighing a touch over 3 pounds.

I’ve been using them for the past few months, and really enjoy the ability to carry them easily from my bedroom to my living room, depending on where I want to set up for a nice 30-minute massage session. I’ve even taken them a bit further than that, as the Elites are TSA-approved and allow you to travel with them on the plane, for some in transit recovery.

The Whoop 4.0 is another item that we at Men’s Health have had plenty of experience with, and Mahomes shared with us how important the stylish health tracker has become to his daily routine. It seems evident from these gifts that the health of his teammates is important to him, and he wants to share the tools that have worked for him. Is there any gift better than that of good health? We don’t think so.

The Men’s Health team also knows good style and fashion when we see it, and the rest of the gifts included some fine-looking Rolex watches (appears to be a Datejust 41) and non-massaging-but-still-cool leather cowboy boots from Lucchese. Check out the full product list below.
