When Patrick Mahomes became the tenth overall pick in 2017, no one could’ve expected that the 22-year-old would soon be the star of the league. His proud mother, Randi Mahomes, who couldn’t be happier seeing him fulfill his dream of playing professional football on the big stage accompanied at the NFL Draft the Texas Tech quarterback.

Hate comes hand-in-hand with fame. While the celebrities themselves face the brunt of harsh opinions, their family gets looped in as well. Randi is one such mother who has experienced all shades of her son’s stardom. In a recent interview, the single mother opened up about how she deals with the online trolls that come at Mahomes.

What Randi Mahomes told the trollers

Mahomes became a three-time Super Bowl champion and three-time Super Bowl MVP with the Kansas City Chiefs. Arguably the best player of the contemporary NFL, his successes not only catapulted him into fame but also his mother. On the Kent Hance -The Best Storyteller in Texas Podcast, published in November 2021, the ‘QB Producer’ opened up about the other side of the coin and how she dealt with the naysayers.

“I honestly, I pray for them,” shared Randi. She realized the trollers were here to stay and decided to remain quiet. “…and I’m like there’s nothing I can -do to control, a lot of time. It’s like biting my lip to just keep my mouth shut and don’t say anything.” However, there were times when Mama Mahomes couldn’t hold herself and would respond, only to get an unexpected reaction.

“You know, some people I’ve responded to, and they’ve come back and like “I’m so sorry, I really shouldn’t” and it’s made them kind of think like, you know, this is my child.” Randi further talked about how she would emphasize the depth of their actions to the haters. “You know, whether they hate the Chiefs or whatever. But I’ve told them, especially when I see it’s in a grown-up, “I’m like, I’m sorry you feel that way, but it is my child. And if I see they have kids, I’m like, I would never do that, and I’m sorry that your heart hurts.”

No matter how the online trolls try to tear the Chiefs’ star quarterback down, he has been proving them wrong with two back-to-back Super Bowls. Kansas City is already gearing up for their three-peat as the official team activities commence.

Patrick Mahomes & Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown shines in the Chiefs OTAs

The Kansas City Chiefs rang in their OTA practices this week, with many veterans and newbies joining in. Whereas Mahomes threw his first ball for the Chiefs ahead of the 2024 season, his chemistry with their new wide receiver also turned heads. Brown has been spotted working out with the quarterback all throughout the offseason, but this was their first practice with the team.

No one can be a better judge of the QB-WR duo than Andy Reid, and the head coach has high hopes for the newly joined Chiefs member. “He’s another one, a smart kid, and he just kind of gets it,” he said, as per SI. “Pat and he — there’s so much talking going on, which I look at, and I think that’s important. As long as the receivers are willing to listen and then share what they saw and it’s accurate, you normally can develop a pretty good relationship relatively quick as you go.”

Patrick Mahomes is all set to repeat the glory from the last two seasons this year. His regular workouts with teammates and making the new additions to the roster feel at home are just some steps in the correct direction.
