Often the family of a star player rises to fame with the star player themself. This phenomenon happened with the Kansas City Chiefs QB, Patrick Mahomes’ brother Jackson Mahomes. Younger Mahomes felt like the black sheep of the family. Since his father is a famous MLB pitcher, Pat Mahomes Sr., and his brother is a star QB, he usually felt overshadowed. But he moved on to become a popular name on the video-sharing platform TikTok.
Understandably, the fans of Jackson Mahomes’ dad and brother would hold him up to a certain standard. For younger Mahomes, living under the shadow of the two great athletes was not an easy ride for him.
