In addition, in 2016, Mahomes Sr. was apprehended and charged with public intoxication during a football game between Texas Christian University (TCU), and Texas Tech, which is his son’s alma mater, according to the report.
The arrest occurred just a week before his son, Mahomes Jr., is scheduled to lead the Chiefs to Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs have an opportunity to become the first team since the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004 to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles.
