Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is gearing up for his ninth NFL season, already completing organized team activities (OTAs) and mandatory minicamp.

Mahomes will be glad to know that his starting right guard of the past four seasons, Trey Smith, is also returning to the Chiefs after receiving the franchise tag. Smith earned a starting job immediately during his rookie year (2021) and last season, he made his first Pro Bowl.

Aside from reaching Super Bowls, Mahomes and Smith have begun a different venture outside of football. In fact, the two stars were recently spotted in Kansas City filming a new State Farm commercial.

In attendance alongside Mahomes and Smith was popular sports reporter Kay Adams, who was interviewing the three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback.

While this may be a new venture for Smith, Mahomes has had his fair share of commercials, especially with State Farm. Back in 2019, the former Texas Tech star partnered with the insurance company, appearing in advertisements alongside new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

But Smith isn’t the only member of the Chiefs to appear in a State Farm commercial with Mahomes. Head coach Andy Reid has starred alongside his quarterback in several ads since 2022.

In addition to State Farm, Mahomes has partnered with several major brands, including T-Mobile and Subway. He’s also invested in multiple ventures, including the KC Current of the NWSL.

Mahomes, Smith and the Chiefs will kick off the 2025 NFL season on Friday, Sept. 5, facing the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
