His stepdad did a great job with him, his mom did a great job with him, before adding that Patrick will help Walker in his NFL quest.

“He’s supportive, as he always is. Hopefully, in this offseason Patrick will get a chance to throw the ball to him, run routes, as Patrick always has his receivers come down.”

Describing Walker’s personality, Mahomes Sr. described him as “a little bit more laid back than the others. Stays away from the spotlight and goes out and grinds and works. But a very impressive young man.”
