Before Patrick Mahomes began his journey in the NFL, he used to play for Texas Tech in college. During one of his games against TCU, his father was arrested on charges of public intoxication.
It came after TCU's defensive end Breckyn Hager told reporters that the team's mission was to injure Mahomes during the game. After the game, TCU head coach Charlie Strong clarified that his team never intends to injure any other team's player.
