Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, is gearing up for his sixth consecutive playoff season, impressively securing a victory in the AFC Wild Card Round against the Miami Dolphins.
As the anticipation for Lombardi Trophy glory grows, Mahomes finds unwavering support from none other than his proud mother, Randi Mahomes.
Following the recent triumph, Randi took to Instagram not to highlight the playoff win but to share a touching moment related to Mahomes’ philanthropic endeavors with the “15 and the Mahomes Foundation.”
In a video, Randi expressed amazement at her son’s football journey, originating in a small East Texas town.
Her pride reached new heights as Mahomes earned a nomination for the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2023.
In the heartfelt video, Randi conveyed, “Your story began in a small town in East Texas. I am amazed by who you are and accomplishment! I am so proud of my son for being nominated for man of the year!”
In her caption, Randi reiterated her immense pride in Patrick, not just as a football player but as a compassionate individual making a significant impact.
She expressed her gratitude for being his mom, considering it the greatest blessing, and applauded his continuous efforts to give back and create a positive influence in his community and beyond.
The Walter Payton Man of the Year award, presented annually during the NFL Honors, honors players for both on-field excellence and exceptional community service.
Patrick Mahomes stands among the 32 candidates nominated by their respective teams, a fact that fills Clark Hunt, Chairman and CEO of the Chiefs, with immense pride.

Fans joined in the celebration, expressing joy at Mahomes’ nomination and praising him for his character. One fan remarked, “Go Patrick Such an inspiring athlete and person!”
Others acknowledged Randi’s role in raising a remarkable man, with comments like, “You raised a wonderful man! The world is blessed to have both of you ❤️”
Establishing the “15 and the Mahomes Foundation” in 2019, Mahomes has been dedicated to improving children’s lives.
With over $4 million in grants and programs, the foundation’s recent initiative involves Mahomes pledging to donate $1,500 for each touchdown to support the “Boys and Girls Clubs of America.”
This commitment to philanthropy underscores Mahomes’ determination to make a positive difference beyond the football field.
