Patrick Mahomes is argulably the best quarterback in the NFL today and has found himself in the GOAT conversation. The two-time league MVP already has two Super Bowls to his name along with two Super Bowl MVPs.Yet his NFL journey began at Whitehouse High School in Tyler, Texas, where he met Brittany Matthews.
During an interview with Nate Burelson of “CBS Mornings,” the quarterback gave credit to her for his success:When asked how she dealt with being in the limelight as her husband’s popularity has skyrocketed, Brittany Mahomes said:
“I was not prepared for this. And at such a young age. We were in love and I loved him with all of my heart. But, you know, I didn’t expect it to skyrocket this soon, and us kind of just being thrown into the fire like this.”Brittany reflected on the backlash on social media in January when she sprayed champagne on fans at Arrowhead Stadium after the Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC championship game.
The former professional soccer player turned that backlash into a charitable cause. “Team Brittany” shirts were made. The proceeds went to an anti-bullying charity in Kansas City.
