STAR quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, who hails from an athletic family, will play his third Super Bowl in five years on February 11, 2024.
As Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs battle it out on the field against the San Francisco 49ers at the Super Bowl LVIII, fans want to know more about the 28-year-old’s origins.
Where is Patrick Mahomes from?
Patrick Mahomes was born on September 17, 1995, in Tyler, Texas.
His father is former Major League Baseball pitcher Pat Mahomes, and his godfather is former reliever LaTroy Hawkins.
“I remember when Patrick’s dad told me his girlfriend was pregnant,” Hawkins told NWI.com. “I remember when he was born.
“I would babysit him. He’d come stay at the house, come see me, during the season, so I’ve been pretty much a part of his life since he was a kid.”
Hawkins added that Mahomes was “very active” as a youngster.
“He loved basketball, baseball, and football,” Hawkins told the outlet.
“If there was a ball in it, he wanted to play it. But he was more into basketball than baseball at the time.
“And he was 8, 9 years old, playing on the 11, 12-year-old team, playing shortstop and pitching. He’s always been a standout athlete.”
