When it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs’ superstar quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, the spotlight is usually on his game-changing plays. But this time, Mahomes found himself in the middle of an unexpected drama involving some wild claims by former President Donald Trump and Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.).
It all started when Trump, during one of his pre-Super Bowl moments, dropped a story that had football fans scratching their heads. He claimed that Tuberville, during his coaching days at Texas Tech, had coached none other than Mahomes himself. Tuberville even nodded along, sharing the clip and seemingly confirming the tale.
But hold on—something didn’t add up. Football fans and media quickly pointed out the truth: Tuberville had never coached Mahomes.
Realizing the mix-up, Tuberville pivoted during an interview on The Megyn Kelly Show. He admitted he hadn’t coached Mahomes but said he did recruit him and even claimed they were “very good friends.”
Cue Mahomes, the king of straight talk, who set the record straight in the most effortless way. Speaking to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Mahomes politely debunked the claims, saying, “He did not recruit me at the time. I don’t remember if I ever got to meet him or not.”
Boom. Just like one of his iconic touchdown passes, Mahomes delivered the truth with precision.
The video clip, shared by MeidasTouch’s @Acyn, captured the buzz, and fans wasted no time piling on the humor. Trump and Tuberville were called out for their Hall of Fame-worthy storytelling.
As Mahomes prepares for what could be a historic third straight Super Bowl win, one thing is clear: on or off the field, this quarterback knows how to handle the pressure—and the truth.
