The widely popular “Quarterback” docuseries on Netflix did more than just shine a light on the daily grind of three NFL quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota. It also helped shine a different light on one polarizing name featured on the program: Mahomes’ wife Brittany.
Known for her social-media rants, especially in dealing with detractors of Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, the show additionally showed a side of Mahomes’ longtime love interest that isn’t normally seen…but helps paint a different picture of Brittany than the one fans have seen through a keyboard. Here are three scenes that show she isn’t a nightmare as members of the public believe.
Brittany Mahomes Has Been Loyal to the 2-Time Super Bowl Winner Even Before His Texas Tech Career
Their relationship was revealed to have never begun as Mahomes was rising to fame in the league or when he was becoming a potential high draft pick at Texas Tech.
Not often that one of the faces of the league can say they’ve been with someone since their high school years.
Though married since March 2022, both the Chiefs quarterback and Brittany Mahomes have been together since their days at Whitehouse High in Texas when Patrick was a sophomore and she was a year older as a junior.
Even when they went to separate colleges (Brittany played soccer at the University of Texas at Tyler), they remained close to each other — signifying their strength in loyalty.
Brittany Mahomes Admits She’s Her Own Worst Critic in Handling the Early NFL Scrutiny
As verbose as Brittany is toward critics online, even she admits that she wasn’t prepared for the intense scrutiny she and her husband have received since they became a part of the NFL family.
Brittany admitted as much during the show.
“I was not prepared for this,” Brittany said. “And at such a young age. We were in love, and I loved him with all of my heart. But, you know, I didn’t expect it to skyrocket this soon, and us kind of just being thrown into the fire like this.”
Patrick Mahomes has since collected a pair of Most Valuable Player awards along with two Super Bowl rings with Brittany by his side. Leading to this next part.
Patrick Himself Believes Being Around Brittany Boosts His Morale and Career
The docuseries shows a side of the Chiefs’ star that’s rarely seen by national cameras during games — a vulgar frustrated side.
That side surfaced during clips of Kansas City’s playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars when Mahomes sustained his injured ankle. Mahomes is visibly upset about getting encouraged to get an X-ray early before halftime, though he demands to play one more series.
Mahomes manages to stay in and get the win. But the frustration changes the moment he spots his wife after the game — which is also a common sight after every Chiefs game. It’s proof that Patrick becomes peaceful when Brittany enters the picture.
Furthermore, even Brittany herself knows a lot about seeing an athlete push themselves to their limits. Not just as the wife of an NFL star…but as a former collegiate athlete herself. She shares that understanding on the show.
Lastly, even Mahomes himself believes that he would’ve never been the NFL star that he is without his wife on his side. This shows that through all the internet ridicule and scrutiny, their union is strong in front of the cameras.
