But this was for something he did off the field.
Mahomes was on a baseball diamond with his 3-year-old son during a practice held in a driving rainstorm.
While doing his weekly radio interview on 96.5 The Fan in Kansas City, Mahomes said he had a blast.
“It’s fun,” Mahomes said. “Like, those are like the best days. It’s like what you wanted to be as like a kid, going out there, just having fun with your friends. And so, yeah, yesterday it was raining, so we got out there, and me and the other coaches kind of looked around at each other, and then we were just kind of like, ‘Let’s play. Let’s just have fun.’

Mahomes seemed like just any other father, but he is the only three-time Super Bowl MVP with a kid playing on that team.

Mahomes was asked by radio host Carrington Harrison what it’s like to be one of the most recognizable people in the United States at his son’s games. Mahomes said he doesn’t do any sideline coaching and avoids critiquing Bronze’s coaches.

One coach said in that report: “Parents. They created tension. They instilled distrust. They were worse than children.”
Mahomes said he can’t get to all of Bronze’s games, but he also noted that when he’s at the youth field it’s not his role to critique the coaches.
“Yeah, I’m not the coach, though, so I just try to be the dad, and I just try to get there whenever I can,” the superstar QB said. “They played on a day that I was able to get there after I left the facility, and so I just want to support him in every way. Let the coaches coach, and then just try to give him tips on the car ride home.
“You know, it’s about being a dad more than being a professional athlete, and I think that that’s where I gotta kind of be at whenever we go to these things.”
