Patrick Mahomes Survived Vicious Crime That Could’ve Ended His Incredible Career, Leaving Chiefs In Utter Shock

Star QB Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs was the victim of a violent crime that could have proved deadly for him. This took place in 2017, his rookie year at the Chiefs. He and three of his acquaintances were reportedly victims of an armed robbery attempt.

This happened in 2017 in Tyler, Texas, a month after Mahomes joined the Chiefs, in an apparently random incident. Mahomes and three other people were returning from a baseball game when the incident happened. The incident left his team shocked.

Reaction of the Chiefs’ management

After the incident, the Chiefs released a statement expressing their relief that Mahomes and his friends did not get hurt in the exchange. Ted Crews, Chiefs VP of communications said, “We’re aware of the situation with Patrick, and we’re just thankful Patrick and everybody is safe.”

James Palmer of NFL Network said in a statement, on behalf of the Chiefs, “The team is thankful Patrick and everyone involved are safe because that’s what’s most important.”

Patrick Mahomes from rookie to Chiefs’ star

Patrick Mahomes was the first pick for the Chiefs in the 2017 draft and was the 10th overall pick. He has been with the Chiefs since 2017 and is currently their incumbent first-choice QB. At 26 years and 149 days, he became the youngest quarterback in NFL history to start in three Super Bowls as well as the youngest player to win a league MVP and a Super Bowl title.

He also threw 29 touchdown passes in his first 10 NFL games, more TD throws than any QB in NFL history in their first 10 games. The Chiefs traded the No. 27 overall pick, a third-round pick, and their 2018 first-round selection to the Buffalo Bills in order to move up to the No. 10 spot where they selected Mahomes.
