Patrick Mahomes with dad
Patrick Mahomes is arguably the heir of Tom Brady in the NFL. The young Kansas City Chiefs marquee has not only registered himself as one of the leading candidates to become the face of the league but could also be a sporting-world superstar in the coming years.
While he might be relatively new to this success, one thing which Patrick learned from his father was how to handle the life of a pro athlete. Pat Mahomes was an MLB pitcher for 11 seasons, as he taught his son to catch flying balls with players like Alex Rodriguez.
Patrick Mahomes’ father was no ordinary man as he went onto represent six different pro baseball teams: Twins, Red Sox, Mets, Rangers, Cubs and Pirates. Moreover, to be precise about Pat Mahomes’ stats – he threw 452 strikeouts over his career, and spent his time mostly as a relief pitcher.
Patrick Mahomes’ father and mother – Randi Mahomes decided to part ways while he was still young. However, this decision was mutual as both of them managed to remain good friends afterwards.
Pat never pressurized Patrick to follow in, in his footsteps and always encouraged him to follow his heart. Even during the time Patrick Mahomes was drafted into the NFL, no one seemed to be happier than the former MLB star – Pat.
That being said, Patrick was talented enough to play either baseball or football professionally. For those who are not aware – Tigers drafted Patrick in the 37th round of the 2014 MLB draft. The Chiefs Quarterback cited the challenge of football as to why he ultimately chose to play it over baseball.
