Donna Kelce to Randi Mahomes: Meet Inspiring Moms of NFL Who Led Their Sons to Super Bowl

All NFL Moms are Supermoms! The extent to which they have to go to support their sons’ careers is awe-inspiring. Forget the grueling schedules during the regular season. They get to spend very little family time together. But even getting their children to the NFL is a journey. And then offering them emotional support when they lose games takes a lot of strength.

If it weren’t for the likes of moms like Randi Mahomes, Donna Kelce, and Carrie Purdy, we wouldn’t have their star kids. So, what influence did these moms have on their sons and their careers?

First up, NFL Supermoms Randi Mahomes and Donna Kelce

Meet Randi Mahomes from the sweet town of Troup, East Texas. With a whopping 56 first cousins, family gatherings are practically an Olympic event in the Mahomes household. Randi, shaped by her humble roots, credits her hometown and parents for making her who she is. Post-high school, she collided with Patrick’s dad, not realizing he was a baseball superstar. Married life with a pro athlete had its challenges. Which finally led to divorce. Randi rocks the event planning scene at Hollytree Country Club since 2005. Randi’s golden advice for parents? “Show up and be present in your kids’ lives.” Simple, yet that’s the Mahomes secret sauce.

Donna Kelce is the powerhouse mom who raised not one but two NFL Super Bowl 2023 athletes. Her sons Jason and Travis Kelce pulled off a football feat like no other. The first-ever brotherly showdown at the Super Bowl LVII. Reflecting on the “Kelce Bowl”, Donna spilled the beans to PEOPLE. She said, “We’re very, very small. We’re tight-knit. We stay together and try to help each other as much as we can.”

The Kelce household was a constant battleground of sibling rivalry. Donna admitted this herself. “Everything was a competition.” From racing to the dinner table to claiming the front seat of the car, these brothers knew how to keep it lively. Now let’s move to the other team playing on February 11.

Meet Carrie Purdy: mom of Brock Purdy

The Supermom behind Brock’s journey? Carrie Purdy, the ultimate fan of her football prodigy. She came from witnessing his first football grip to basking in the roar of a stadium chanting his name. His Mom has been there every step of the way. Sure, Brock might inherit his athletic prowess from his dad, but it’s his mom, Carrie, who’s the real energy powerhouse.

In a chat with The Athletic, Brock revealed it himself. “I definitely get that kind of trait from her,” he admitted. However, her energy can sometimes get overpowering. It was during times like these when he says to his mom, as she admitted herself, “Brock’s favorite words to me are ‘Mom, chill.’”

Now, on February 11, all three moms will be at Allegiant Stadium for the climax of NFL 2023-24 journey. If the Chiefs win, two moms will be happy. If the 49ers win, Carrie Purdy would be.
