KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs have safety Tyrann Mathieu, nicknamed the Honey Badger for the way he tries to play the game.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said in response to a question Monday at the NFL's Super Bowl LV media event that he, too, would like to have a spirit animal.

"I would like to be a wolf, kind of run around with my pack and being able to be a leader, someone that continues to attack and continues to lead as much as possible," Mahomes said.

A solid answer for a quarterback who could win his second consecutive Super Bowl on Sunday. But Mahomes wasn't off the hook just yet.

He was then asked what tight end Travis Kelce's spirit animal would be.

"It's got to be something funny," Mahomes said. "I think he'd be a giraffe. He's kind of just out there, grazing around the field, trying to make something happen. ... He's always a good time."

Kelce laughed off Mahomes' characterization -- "He threw me to the wolves," Kelce said -- and later said Mahomes would be more like a frog than a wolf, adding, "He's already got the voice of a frog."

"What is a giraffe good for other than eating trees?" Kelce asked. "... I guess they do got a nice head whip as a weapon.

"I gotta do my research on giraffes now."
