Patrick Mahomes has gone above and beyond in his role as the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. In the last five years, the Chiefs have managed to head to the Super Bowl three times, this season included. Since the franchise drafted Mahomes, they’ve made the playoffs every single year. After witnessing his brilliance and the love Chiefs Nation has for the QB, it’s difficult to picture Mahomes in anything but red.

But now, reports suggest that the QB was not Chiefs-bound to start with. His father, a former MLB star, dropped a huge bombshell on what had occurred before his son’s draft.

Patrick Mahomes was not Kansas City-bound

Smoking on a cigar, a shot at Joe Burrow’s signature celebration, Mahomes Sr let the NFL world know that no one could get away with trash talking his son. Now, making a guest appearance on a radio show, ‘670 The Score,’ the former MLB star made a shocking revelation.

Mahomes Sr revealed that the Chicago Bears had expressed explicit interest in his son and were going to draft him third overall. He said, “They told him they were going to draft him, so we thought he was going to be the third pick overall and go to Chicago. He had a great meeting when he [was] there and liked all the guys that were doing stuff there. He thought he was going to be a Bear.” Well, that did not happen.
