The Most Embarrassing Ways Patrick Mahomes’ Brother Stained His Career

Darren Ryding - August 4, 2024

It could easily be argued that Patrick Mahomes is already one of the greatest athletes in U.S. sports history. The two-time Super Bowl champion has achieved almost everything in football and would already be a Hall of Famer if he retired now. And it’s not just about his accomplishments on the field. Everything about his life is uncontroversial except for one ever-present problem. Mahomes’ brother Jackson is a stain on his career.

The saying goes that you can choose your friends but you can’t choose your family. Unfortunately, for the Chiefs star, this is the case with Mahomes’ brother. Jackson rode his brother’s coattails on his way to Internet fame but most fans despise him. From sexual assault allegations to just being a simple idiot, here are the worst ways Mahomes’ brother has made him look bad in the public eye.

People

The Bar Fight

Patrick is an icon in Kansas City and has made the Missouri capital his home. But the same can’t be said of Mahomes’ brother Jackson, who spends a lot of time annoying the local bar scene. He infamously feuded with a local bar after they were unable to seat his party because he didn’t make a reservation. Mahomes’ brother took to social media to criticize their service with a series of unfair comments.

FOX 4

The bar responded to his antics with a scathing retort online (via Rolling Stone). They said: “We are sorry that we set boundaries that you tried to ignore. Often times people with unearned status and a sense of entitlement think they are above the rules and will lash out at the employee enforcing them.”

The Bachelor Party

It says a lot about Patrick’s relationship with his younger brother that he didn’t invite him to his bachelor party. Teammates and friends including Travis Kelce attended the event in Las Vegas. But Mahomes’ brother Jackson was the most notable absence and it showed the brothers could have an increasingly strained relationship (via Game 7).

Us Weekly

That’s because Patrick may see his younger sibling as a stain on his career. Jackson’s antics exhaust him and bring unwanted negativity. He hates answering questions about his attention-seeking brother’s misdeeds. The older Mahomes prefers to let his arm do the talking on the football field because he is an elite star, and Mahomes’ brother only serves to distract from that.

New York Post

The Sean Taylor Incident

NFL fans destroyed Mahomes’ brother Jackson after this ridiculous incident in 2021. Washington honored the late Sean Taylor in Week 6 against the Chiefs. They sectioned off a logo of the murdered star’s No. 21 on the field in a show of respect. Later, Jackson recorded himself dancing on the logo for his TikTok (via Sportskeeda).

YouTube

This incensed everybody because it was incredibly disrespectful. In a rare moment of contrition, Jackson tweeted: “I want to sincerely apologize for accidentally being on the Sean Taylor #21 at FedEx Field. We were directed to stand in that area and I meant absolutely no disrespect to him or his family.”

The Sports Rush

Private Life

One of the main reasons why Jackson is a stain on Patrick’s existence is because the quarterback wants to live a quiet life. Yes, the elder Mahomes has some nice cars and a massive sneaker collection. But these things make him happy and he doesn’t flaunt his wealth on social media. Even his house is relatively modest compared to some of his fellow football stars.

L.A. Times

Mahomes says that he’s trying to find balance and maybe his brother can learn from him. “I think that’s a process everyone has to navigate in life,” the quarterback said (via The Shadow League). “Obviously, I’m on a bigger stage but at the same time, it’s your family, but you have to come in here and do a job, and that’s what I try to do every day.”

Baltimore Water Fight

Ravens fans reserve a special hatred for Jackson because he behaved badly at M&T Bank Stadium in 2021. Some Baltimore fans heckled Jackson and Brittany Mahomes. Then Jackson responded by showering them with a bottle of water before leaving the stadium. This was irresponsible because it could have incited violence. It also affects his brother’s reception in the venue.

The Sports Wire

Later, Patrick responded to the story as he tried to remain balanced. He knew his brother was a moron but he also wanted to defend his family. “Yeah, I mean, obviously it’s something that we don’t want to necessarily do,” Mahomes said, (via CBS Sports). “There were things said to him, and Brittany, that you don’t see kind of on the clip.”

Super Bowl Photo Bomb

Mahomes furthered his football legacy by winning a second Super Bowl in 2023. He proved that he was one of the greatest players of his generation in an MVP-winning season. It sealed his status as an all-time great as he delivered for Kansas City again. But one man came along to steal his thunder (via NBC Sports).

Athlon Sports

No, we’re not talking about the Eagles’ quarterback Jalen Hurts, who had the game of his life. Patrick’s younger brother Jackson materialized like a bad smell behind him during an interview. He was as welcome as Canadian wildfire smoke in New York City. Jackson is a stain on Patrick’s career and ruins too many moments.

Rolling Stone

The Private Jet

Nobody likes it when people flaunt their wealth as if it makes them superior human beings. Unfortunately, Jackson didn’t get the memo and regularly shows off on social media. Before Super Bowl LVII he shared a photo on Instagram next to a private jet. He wrote the following caption: “Made it to Arizona.”

Fox 4

This was catnip for his haters because they were quick to point out that he was happy to spend his brother’s money. Some also said that Jackson was the main reason why they were rooting for the Eagles in the game. On paper, it’s harmless behavior but it reflects the type of person that he is (via Outkick).

Pinkvilla

Fashion Sense

Many critics also mock Jackson’s fashion sense because he favors bold patterns and colors. He even created a brand called ‘Unathletic’ because he doesn’t have the same sports skills as his father or brother. It should be noted that many NFL fans don’t appreciate deviant masculine identities so this was never going to fly with them.

Distractify

Jackson explained: “I’ll never forget the first time I was at a football game or a store and people came up to me noticing me as ‘Jackson from TikTok’ and not as ‘Patrick Mahomes’ brother.'” However, his haters observe that the only reason people know him is that he rode his brother’s hype train (via Audacy).

The Beer Shotgun Attempt

Many people know Jackson because of his brother’s success. Now he’s an influencer but it doesn’t mean he is a successful one. Yes, he has plenty of followers but they include many haters. They deride him for everything he does because they think he is a stain on Patrick’s career. These NFL fans also celebrate all of Jackson’s failures.

Daily Express

He attempted to shotgun a beer during the AFC Championship Game in 2023. But he failed miserably and they immediately mocked him for being unmanly. Maybe this was harsh but Jackson decided to live stream his idiotic moment. That’s typical of the marketing graduate who lacks any self-awareness (via Newsweek).

Sports Illustrated

Boring Guy

Another reason why Mahomes’ brother is a stain on his career is because he’s so different. Patrick possesses all of the talent in the world but he’s essentially a very boring person. He wants to play ball and raise his family while enjoying other high-profile sporting events and concerts in his downtime. It’s a relatively chill existence and he doesn’t do much else (via Fansided).

Fox News

But Jackson flaunts every aspect of his life on social media and generates trouble for himself. This is the opposite of Mahomes, who’s a disciplined athlete and consummate professional. He’s been riding a star since his Texas Tech days but never allowed it to go to his head. It’s a shame that his brother hasn’t learned from his example.

The Patriots War

Patriots fans hold a special hatred in their hearts for Jackson and Brittany Mahomes. The pair disgraced themselves in Foxborough as they antagonized the New England fans around them. They claimed that the fans started it but video footage suggested otherwise. Later, security moved them for their safety because it was getting out of hand.

Fancied

Brittany also live-tweeted her experience as she wrote: “This place is horrible.” That hardly endeared her to the Patriots’ fans around them. Meanwhile, Jackson was his usual irritating self. Later, Mahomes said that they received a lot of abuse and that the video didn’t tell the full story (via Essentially Sports).

New York Post

Every TikTok Dance

We’ve already talked about Jackson’s most notorious TikTok moments. The Sean Taylor Memorial and Super Bowl incidents were timed and inappropriate. But let’s not pretend that his regular work isn’t any better. The man’s dance moves should be illegal because they’re horrific (via Bleacher Report).

The Sports Rush

If the U.S. military sent him to a warzone the enemy would instantly surrender. Click the link to watch a compilation of his dances but don’t blame us for how bad they are. Some people may think it’s harsh to criticize him for having fun. That’s usually true but when someone is this obnoxious it’s impossible to defend him.

No One Likes Brittany

Another issue for Patrick is that many NFL fans dislike his wife Brittany. This isn’t entirely her fault because sometimes they’re sexist and mean. However, her extroverted personality sometimes grates online. She’s not afraid to express her opinion about football games and even criticizes officials on Twitter.

SheKnows

But it doesn’t help her husband when fans despise two of his closest family members. If it was just Brittany it wouldn’t be so bad but the problem doubles when Jackson is a stain on his life. Somehow the NFL’s best quarterback has two of the world’s most annoying people in his circle (via Buzzfeed News).

Destroying My Life

Jackson made an eyebrow-raising statement in 2022 when he attacked the media. He shared a selfie on his Instagram story with the caption: “I hate media/news it’s destroying my life… (via New York Post). This came after it became clear that Patrick didn’t invite Jackson to his bachelor party.

Kansas City Star

It’s safe to say that most people didn’t have much sympathy for Jackson because he created his problems. The young man invited chaos into his life by acting like a moron on TikTok. The only reason why anybody talks about him is because he’s a stain on Patrick’s career. It’s time for him to look in the mirror and do some soul-searching.

CBS Sports

My Brother Loves Me

Anybody who hates themselves enough to watch Jackson’s TikTok videos or Instagram Live will see recurring trends. He continuously dances horribly and defends his sexuality. Many trolls accuse him of being gay but he denies this. They also say that his brother thinks Jackson is a stain on his career (via TMZ).

The Independent

Jackson replied to this on Instagram Live. He said: “I am straight, I don’t have to act straight. And… my brother does love me. And… I think if he didn’t love me, I wouldn’t be living with him.” Firstly, there’s nothing wrong with being gay and people shouldn’t throw this out as an insult. But he’s not making it easier for his brother to love him by acting like a cretin.

New York Post

All About Legacy

Mahomes has the most lucrative overall contract in the league on paper. But in 2023 he was only the seventh-highest-paid quarterback on an annual basis. The likes of Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray average more per year than the Chiefs star. Mahomes is serious about his legacy and that matters more to him than anything (via NBC Sports).

Sky Sports

“I’ve always said I worry about legacy and winning rings more than making money at this moment,” he said. “We see what’s going on around the league, but at the same time, I’ll never do anything that’s going to hurt us from keeping the great players around me. So it’s kind of teetering around that line.” Somebody should tell his annoying little brother to stop being a stain.

The Nessa Obsession

Many people think that Jackson disrespects women and thinks he’s better than them. One occasion saw him obsess over Nessa Barrett, a fellow social media star. The pair collaborated for one video and then Jackson began openly lusting over her. But the problem was that she was already in a relationship.

People

This didn’t stop him and he didn’t show the couple any respect. He feuded with her boyfriend Josh Richards because he went too far. It’s safe to say that Patrick Mahomes has no interest in these antics but he doesn’t want people to ask about them. But the media does because Jackson is a stain on his career (via Seventeen).

The Worst Pair

Jackson and Brittany are bad enough when they’re apart. But when they’re together they become one of the world’s worst duos. We’re talking Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine levels of darkness. It became so bad that rumors spread that Patrick banned them from attending his football games (via Outkick).

Sportskeeda

However, the Chiefs’ QB denied this and defended his family members online. He tweeted: Y’all just be making up stuff these days.” Nonetheless, he was never going to admit this on social media because that would look very mad. In the end, there’s no changing the fact that Jackson is a stain on his life.

The Super Bowl Parade

Maybe Jackson is worried that the U.S. is going to block TikTok so he’s trying to maximize his output. Somehow we don’t think he keeps in touch with geopolitics. Nonetheless, he churns out videos like they’re going out of fashion. Some of the most annoying came from the 2023 Super Bowl parade as he made fans cringe.

New York Post

They witnessed him try and fail to get onto some of the Super Bowl floats. But the team didn’t want the younger Mahomes anywhere near them. Some neutral fans said that they hoped the Chiefs never won another game. There’s no doubt that he is a stain on the NFL and annoys everybody (via New York Post).

CNN

The Forearm Dance

Patrick Mahomes can’t go anywhere without his brother annoying him. He once went to a steakhouse with his wife Brittany and Jackson in tow. It should have been a relaxed evening without any drama but then Jackson took out his phone. He immediately started filming while an uncomfortable Patrick tried to ignore him.

Marca

But it didn’t help when Brittany joined in with Jackson’s weird forearm dance. Then Jackson recorded Brittany licking Patrick’s cheek before the QB glared at the pair. The footage cut out because he had enough of their ridiculous antics. It wasn’t even funny and we feel sorry for him because he deserves better (via People)

People

Missed Shot

Jackson infamously tried to seduce another Instagram model, Alix Earle. Earle has almost two million followers on the social media platform and has dated major sports stars. But Jackson didn’t enjoy the same success after sliding into her DMs and cryptically talking about her on TikTok.

Seventeen Magazine

Many people think it’s sleazy for someone to send unsolicited messages to strangers anyway. Meanwhile, Jackson is only famous because of his brother’s success. Now he’s trying to use that increased profile to attract random women. It’s ridiculous and shows why he is a stain on Patrick’s iconic career (via BroBible).

Fox Business

The Portnoy Feud

Jackson also rubbed Barstool Sports President Dave Portnoy the wrong way. The powerful media figure shares a podcast with Josh Richards and didn’t appreciate Jackson trying to steal his co-host’s girlfriend. He made a video asking if Jackson and Brittany Mahomes were the two dumbest human beings on earth.

Variety

The pair beefed back and forth in a high-profile and ridiculous exchange. This must have been very annoying for his brother to deal with because his teammates know about it too. His Kansas City teammates love him but Jackson is giving them plenty of ammunition to use against him one day (via The U.S. Sun).

Insider

Just a Human

Remember how we said many NFL fans also hate Brittany Mahomes? It didn’t help Jackson’s case when she defended her husband’s younger brother. She said: “He is a human just trying to live his life and find his way, and until you walk a day in his shoes (which no one ever will) you have no right to say s**t about him. So it’s best to just shut up (via The Things).”

Marca

That’s fine except that her words added fuel to the fire. Some people despised Jackson even more because of Brittany’s words. That may seem irrational but it’s how the human mind works. Meanwhile, he didn’t help his case by allegedly sexually harassing a restaurant manager on camera.

Sky Sports

I Just Want To Play

Mahomes is a consummate professional who never causes any problems. He isn’t a diva like some stars and prefers to do his talking on the field. That’s why it’s exhausting for him to handle questions about his younger brother. He tried to shut down journalists when they asked him about his brother’s arrest on sexual assault charges.

Bleacher Report

“At the end of the day, I come here to play football and try to take care of my family at the same time,” Mahomes said (via New York Post). “So just kind of keep it to myself and just go out there and play football when I’m in the building.” It’s safe to say that he wants nothing to do with his younger brother’s sleazy antics.

Athlon Sports

Burn Bridges

Jackson received further bad news in 2023 when his sister-in-law decided that he was a persona non grata. She made some cryptic comments in her Instagram stories about the people in her life. “Unfortunately, a lot of y’all met me when I lacked boundaries and was a people pleaser. Let me reintroduce myself, I burn bridges as needed (via Fox News).”

People

She initially defended Jackson after the sexual assault allegations. But then the police arrested him and she changed her tune. It’s also a nightmare for Patrick because now his wife and brother are at loggerheads. Jackson is a stain on everything in his life and it would be better if he disappeared.

Deadpan

The Arrest

In 2023, police arrested Jackson on three counts of aggravated sexual battery and one count of battery. Prosecutors alleged that Jackson “unlawfully and feloniously touched the person of another … who did not consent to the touching, with the intent to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of the offender or another.”

Court TV

Disturbing video footage emerged of Jackson forcibly kissing the Aspe Lounge restaurant owner in February. He allegedly grabs her by the throat and kisses her without her consent. Defenders say that the videos don’t give the full context. However, it’s increasingly difficult for Patrick to defend his wayward younger brother who is a stain on his career.
