NFL Stars and Their Furry Friends: The Ultimate Guide to Athletes’ Pets
Numerous NFL champions rely on their beloved dogs for comfort after strenuous workouts or games.
Patrick Mahomes and his spouse, Brittany Matthews, are the delighted dog owners of a pit bull named Steel and a Cane Corso named Silver.
“He’s an amazing dog — very affectionate, very spirited,” the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback shared with the Kansas City Star in 2019 about Steel. “He’s like my best friend. It’s an excellent dog to have. … It was a mutual decision [to adopt Silver, as Brittany] was eager to get him. I was hoping to wait until the offseason, but she wanted to bring him home quickly.”
Mahomes is definitely not the only NFL player who finds solace with a furry friend. Russell Wilson, for example, has three Great Danes together with his wife, Ciara.
“I love having three, so I always dreamed of having three Great Danes,” Wilson remarked in an April 2019 video for the Seattle Seahawks, introducing his dogs Prince, Naomi, and Hero. “They all feel like siblings, that’s for sure. They love to play-fight, that’s pretty much what they do all day.”
