Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Patrick Mahomes\u00a0has seen his family make headlines for, well, not the best reasons in the past. While Mahomes himself has established himself as one of the most successful players in NFL history, with three Super Bowl titles and counting, his family has often besmirched his good name with their antics.<\/p>\n

His younger brother,\u00a0Jackson Mahomes, has created controversy in the past with his Tik Tok dances, notably one done on an emblem in Washington that was made to honor the late Sean Taylor, who was murdered during a burglary attempt in his home. More recently, the younger Mahomes pled guilty to misdemeanor battery for shoving a waiter during an incident at a night club in 2023.<\/p>\n

That incident also saw three felony charges for aggravated sexual battery brought against him, but those were dropped when the alleged victim refused to cooperate with prosecutors.<\/p>\n

Mahomes\u2019 father,\u00a0Patrick Mahomes Sr., was arrested in February of 2024 with his third DWI.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, a little-known member of his family recently made headlines for a better reason.<\/p>\n

Late last week and over the weekend, NFL teams held their rookie mini camp. Not only is this short string of practices a chance for the coaching staffs to start getting familiar with their team\u2019s draft picks, but it also presents some players with the opportunity to try out for NFL rosters.<\/p>\n

One of the players that was invited to try out for the Chiefs was Graham Walker, a tight end who spent the 2024 season with Rice after three seasons at Brown.<\/p>\n

Walker happens to be the half-brother of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes:<\/p>\n
