About

Patrick Lavon Mahomes II is the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, whose rocket arm, backyard-style ingenuity, and clutch gene have made a previously struggling franchise a dynasty. Since becoming the primary starter in 2018, he has won three Super Bowl rings (LIV, LVII, LVIII) and an NFL-record three Super Bowl MVPs, complemented by regular-season MVP awards in 2018 and 2022. His attempt at an unprecedented three-peat was thwarted by Philadelphia’s defense in Super Bowl LIX. Despite that, at 29 years old, he already has over 27,000 passing yards, never missed the playoffs, and concluded the 2024 regular season with 3,928 yards, 26 touchdowns, and a 67.6 QBR.

Aside from the trophies, Mahomes continues to rewrite the record books. He became the first player ever to pass for 5,000 yards in both college and the NFL, and no quarterback has achieved 25,000 career yards quicker. His technique combines baseball-honed arm angles and Houdini-esque pocket escapes to create highlight throws that appear sketched on the playground but land accurately in a receiver’s hands. Coaches admire his study of film, but he speaks about the game in plain language, making intricate reads off coverage sound simplistic for fans.

Before Fame

Mahomes was raised in Whitehouse, a small Texas town just east of Dallas. Athletics was in the blood: his father, Pat Mahomes Sr., pitched for 11 years in the Major League Baseball, and his mother, Randi Martin, was the constant voice saying to her children, “stay humble and hungry.” The backyard of their home served as a training field where Patrick and younger brother Jackson tossed footballs and swung bats until dusk.

At Whitehouse High, Patrick played three varsity sports—football, basketball, and baseball—and graduated in the top half of his class nonetheless. His senior season on the football field was a video-game stat line: 4,619 yards passing, 50 touchdown passes, 948 yards rushing, and 15 more touchdowns on the ground. Baseball scouts noticed as well; the Detroit Tigers drafted him in the 37th round of the 2014 MLB Draft, but he was already thinking about football stardom.

Texas Tech supplied the platform. Within only three seasons at the college level, he had established numerous Big 12 records, like a 734-yard, five-touchdown shootout victory against Oklahoma that remains mythical in Lubbock. The Chiefs traded to select him 10th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, wagering that his gun-slinger mentality with no fear would carry over at the next level—and they have repaid that wager many, many times over.

Trivia

• Historic contract – In July 2020, he signed a 10-year, $450 million extension, then renegotiated elements of the deal in 2023 to advance more money. It was the richest contract in American sports history at the time.
• Sports owner – Mahomes holds equity stakes in MLB’s Kansas City Royals, MLS’s Sporting KC, and—alongside wife Brittany—the NWSL club Kansas City Current. He also invested in Alpine’s Formula One team.
• “15 and the Mahomies” – His foundation has donated millions to playground builds, literacy programs, and children’s health initiatives across Kansas City and East Texas.
• Ketchup connoisseur – Patrick once told ESPN he loves putting ketchup on almost anything, including steak and macaroni, a quirky fact that turned into a Heinz endorsement.
• Gamer & entrepreneur – Away from the field, he streams “Call of Duty,” appears on the “Madden” video-game cover, and backs tech start-ups—yet still finds time to film light-hearted State Farm and T-Mobile ads.

Family Life

Patrick’s relationship with Brittany Matthews began in their teenage years at Whitehouse High School. They stayed close through college, got engaged after his first Super Bowl win, and were married in Hawaii in March 2022. Their growing crew now includes daughter Sterling Skye (born Feb 20, 2021), son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III (Nov 28, 2022), and newest arrival Golden Raye, born Jan 12, 2025. The quarterback calls fatherhood “the best part of the day,” and teammates often spot Sterling chasing him around the practice field.

Support is never far away. Pat Sr. and Randi sit in separate sections but cheer with equal volume, while brother Jackson and half-sister Mia join in whenever schedules allow. Randi recently joked that watching her son absorb NFL hits still makes her nervous, even after five Super Bowl trips. Family gatherings now revolve around “Grandi Camp,” Randi’s summer-break tradition with the grandkids.

Associated With

Mahomes’ NFL story is intertwined with tight end Travis Kelce; the duo’s backyard creativity has shattered defensive game plans and produced endless viral clips. Head coach Andy Reid, famous for quarterback development, trusts Mahomes to change plays at the line—something few passers earn. Analysts often compare Mahomes’ early résumé to Tom Brady’s, noting that his three Super Bowl MVPs by age 29 trail only Brady’s five. And after facing Jalen Hurts twice on the game’s biggest stage—winning one matchup and losing the 2025 rematch—Mahomes has formed a respectful rivalry with Philadelphia’s star.

If you watch a Chiefs practice, you’ll likely spot Mahomes and backup quarterback Shane Buechele swapping trick-throw ideas while Kelce and new receivers tease him about his no-look passes. Ask him about the future, and he keeps it simple: “I just want a chance to win every year.” With his talent, leadership, and ever-growing legend, that chance seems almost guaranteed.
