Patrick Mahomes once said he didn’t talk to controversial Chiefs teammate Harrison Butker
Patrick Mahomes once revealed he wasn’t friends with his controversial Kansas City Chiefs teammate Harrison Butker.
“I don’t talk to Harrison Butker all year,” the quarterback said on the “Pat McAfee Show” following his third Super Bowl win in February. “I just let him do his thing.”
When asked if Mahomes says “hi” to the kicker in passing, he responded, “We sit right beside each other in team meetings and I don’t say one word to him, only before the season and after the season, that’s the only time I talk to him.”
Despite not having a bond with Butker, the father of two admitted he could count on his teammate on the field.
“I know if I can just cross that 40 [yard line] … he’s going to put it through [the upright],” Mahomes, 28, said.
Reflecting on a mishap at the Super Bowl, he added, “If you saw in the game I got a little pressure, threw it short and knew Harrison was going to knock it through.”
Reps for Mahomes weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment
Mahomes’ interview recently resurfaced following Butker’s controversial anti-LGBTQ and sexist graduation speech at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., May 11.
During his speech, the NFL star candidly admitted he’s “gained quite the reputation for speaking [his] mind” before going on to attack “dangerous gender ideologies.”
Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder,” he said
