Now the NFL quarterback’s father is hopeful that he can continue to go to his son’s games this season, but couldn’t say whether he would be able to leave his county in Texas to travel to Chiefs games.

“It’s kind of a tradition; I normally go to all the football games. I know he enjoys me being there, so hopefully things will work out and I’ll be able to continue what I’ve been doing,” Mahomes said in an interview after sentencing.

“Hopefully it will enlighten someone else to take these measures and make sure this doesn’t happen again.” Mahomes Sr. was a pro athlete himself, as a pitcher for six different MLB teams from 1992-2003.

He was famously part of the 2000 New York Mets that reached the World Series.

His sentencing comes shortly after Mahomes’ mother, Randi Mahomes, made multiple social media posts indicating that her father, the quarterback’s grandfather, was hospitalized.
