As a founder and CEO of 1UP Sports Marketing agency, Jacquelyn Dahl has overseen Patrick Mahomes’ marketing interests since early in his NFL career. According to Dahl, former NFL receiver Danny Amendola introduced her to Mahomes after the quarterback’s career at Texas Tech. Since then, she’s managed many of Mahomes’ high-profile endorsement deals and commercial campaigns under her agency.

At the same time, Dahl also represents Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, while managing the off-field business interests of several other prominent athletes, including Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman, and Bradley Chubb. This is exactly why it won’t be wrong to say that Dahl has helped Mahomes become one of the NFL’s most marketable athletes.
