Patrick Mahomes’ mother, Randi Mahomes, has shockingly revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterbacks NFL career never happened, as he was tempted to quit the sport once before.
Randi asked her Instagram followers to ask her questions on Friday, and she answered a question about keeping her Super Bowl-winning son motivated during challenging times.
The Mahomes matriarch revealed how it was not always easy for Patrick at Whitehouse High School.
‘It was something that actually I didn’t have to do that much because he was so determined for himself,’ Randi said of her son. ‘But there were times that he would get a little down, even a moment in high school when he wanted to quit football, yes he did.’
‘And I encouraged him that sitting out a season of sports and watching the games, it was not going to be fun for him, and so he stuck to it luckily.’
Mahomes never did look back, eventually getting a scholarship to Texas Tech, where he put up great stats for the Red Raiders.

Mahomes was drafted by the Chiefs in 2018 and has become one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history in his career, with likely more than half of his professional reign still to go.
It is hard to imagine the NFL without Mahomes, as he has vaulted himself into legendary status by making five of the last six Super Bowls, winning three.
It was at Whitehouse High School where Mahomes started dating his now-wife, Brittany Mahomes, where she was a soccer star.
Randi made headlines late last year by revealing her political loyalty to Donald Trump, days before the Presidential election.
It was in contrast to her son who declined to say who he was voting for publicly. Brittany however, in contrast with friend Taylor Swift, also voted for Trump.
