KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A group of youth football players got the surprise of a lifetime, with a visit from NFL star Patrick Mahomes.
And an even bigger surprise, the Chiefs quarterback took them all on a holiday shopping spree.
These kids with the KC United Youth program think they're at Dick's Sporting Goods in Leawood for an end of the year party.
Little do they know, behind this partition, waiting in the wings, is Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Then while gathering for a group pic -- the surprise is on.
Mahomes treated each kid to a $125 shopping spree, part of Giving Tuesday.
"My heart's beating super fast and I'm like 'whoa, calm down!'" Daniels said.
Mahomes also presented KC United with a $5,000 donation from Dick's "Sports Matter" program.
KC United's head football coach also had no idea any of this was happening.
"It's one thing to see it on the 65-inch, it's another thing when he's 65 inches from you. I looked, I said, 'man, you're not really that tall!" Roberson said.
Mahomes grew up the son of a big league pitcher, so he spent time around famous athletes when he was a kid.
And now Mahomes is the primetime athlete surrounded by starstruck kids.
"I was that little kid, I was the one that was looking up to athletes and getting to see them and getting to be a part of it," Mahomes said. "And I remember being a part of those experiences, so I know how much it means for every single kid."
Even the grownups were losing it being around the fastest rising star in the NFL.
"Your heart's just beating and you're just like, oh my god! It just makes you wanna cry," Morrow said.
But the kids had a chance to hang out with Mahomes and say whatever they want -- and some of them did!
"They told me i need to stop fumbling," Mahomes said.
But jokes aside, nobody dropped the ball tonight.
A memory for a lifetime for the kids with KC United.
"I will never forget this," Bane said. "I'll never forget it. It's like a dream come true."
