Patrick Mahomes Sr. could face up to 10 years behind bars following felony DWI charge: report

The recent indictment of Patrick Mahomes Sr., father of Patrick Mahomes, could result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years if he is found guilty of the felony charge.

Mahomes Sr. was indicted by Texas prosecutors for committing a felony DUI. This was his third or more offense for “driving while intoxicated”and occurred shortly before the Super Bowl. According to the Smith County Texas Courts, he was officially charged last Thursday.

On Feb. 3, Mahomes Sr. was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and officers suspected he was driving under the influence. A 16-ounce Coors beer was found open in his center console, and he acknowledged consuming a few drinks prior to driving.

Despite having a second DWI charge in 2018, Mahomes Sr. had a successful career as a pitcher in the MLB for 11 seasons. He has not spoken publicly about the incident, and may potentially be fined up to $10,000 for his actions.

The Kansas City Chiefs Add Depth at Quarterback by Signing New Backup for Patrick Mahomes

Despite recent concerns surrounding Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes, there is positive news as the team has secured a new backup for him starting in 2024.

Despite Blaine Gabbert entering free agency this off-season, the Chiefs chose to pivot and search for a backup for Mahomes elsewhere. They ultimately reached an agreement with Carson Wentz, a former quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders, Indianapolis Colts, and Los Angeles Rams. On Apr. 1, Wentz officially signed a one-year contract with the team.

Despite the presence of Chris Oladokun and Ian Book on the roster, Wentz’s experience may give him the opportunity to serve as the backup quarterback for the upcoming season. This will mark Wentz’s fifth consecutive year in this role.

Since taking on the role of the Chiefs’ full-time starter in 2018, Mahomes has only missed a total of four games in his career. As he sets his sights on a potential third consecutive Super Bowl victory, he will undoubtedly strive to continue his impressive track record with the team.

In your opinion, is Carson Wentz a superior backup choice compared to Blaine Gabbert?
