“Patrick Mahomes’ dad issues a heartfelt apology to his son after years of abandonment, expressing remorse and seeking forgiveness as a father.”Bears fans have tried to forget that April day, but Patrick Mahomes Sr. brought it back up following his son’s victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship to return to the Super Bowl for the third time in his career.

Mahomes spoke to 670 The Score about the 23-20, last-second win over Joe Burrow and company, but the conversation changed trajectory when his son’s draft was brought up
Coming out of Texas Tech, NFL evaluators were in love with Mahomes’ arm talent and ability to extend plays, pegging him as a first-round pick. It was just a matter of where he was going.

Mahomes Sr. said his son “wholeheartedly thought” the Bears would select him.

“They told him they were going to draft him,” he said. “We thought he was going to be the third pick overall and go to Chicago. He had a great meeting when he went there and liked all the guys that were doing the stuff there and thought he was going to be a Bear. Then, once they traded up and got Mitch, it kind of hurt him. It really did. He always knew that Kansas City had told him that they were going to come up and get him. They just didn’t know how far they’d have to go. But initially, he thought he was going to be a Chicago Bear.”

The Chiefs would go on to select Patrick Mahomes 10th overall in the draft, making him the second quarterback off the board. Deshaun Watson would be selected by the Houston Texans two picks later.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Breaks His Silence On His Father’s Felony Arrest (VIDEO)

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has broken his silence on his father’s arrest following a DWI incident in Texas.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. was taken into custody for said offense during the weekend and, with this being his third strike, he could be facing a lengthy prison term.

According to TMZ, the elder Mahomes admitted he “had a few beers while watching a game at a local bar” before he got into his vehicle after he was pulled by lawmen who spotted him driving slower than the rest of the traffic while sporting expired tags.

The arresting officer noted that the former MLB player failed a sobriety test once he was taken out of his vehicle.

“I believed Patrick was impaired to a perceptible degree while operating a motor vehicle in a public place,” he wrote in documents obtained by the aforementioned publication.

The QB was asked about the situation while speaking to the media on Super Bowl opening night.

“He’s doing good, I don’t want to get into too much but he’s doing good for whatever the situation is,” he said. “It’s a family matter, so I’ll keep it to the family, and that’s all I’ll really have to say at this point.”

Mahomes Sr. is facing a felony due to this being his third DWI arrest but is allowed to travel to Las Vegas to watch the Super Bowl. As to whether he will attend the game remains unclear.
