The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles have all eyes on them with Super Bowl LIX, but a claim about Patrick Mahomes had to be addressed.
On Thursday, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama spoke about the Chiefs quarterback.
Tuberville, Texas Tech’s coach from 2010 to 2012 and now a U.S. senator from Alabama, claimed credit for recruiting Mahomes to play college football during an appearance on “The Megyn Kelly Show.”
Although Tuberville corrected Kelly for saying he had coached Mahomes, he then stated, “What happened is I recruited him, and then I left and went to another school, but I got to be very good friends with him. He’s not just a good athlete, he’s a very good example for a lot of our young youth across this country.”
However, what Tuberville said about Patrick Mahomes does not quite match up with what the dynamic quarterback remembers.
Speaking to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Mahomes stated that not only did Tuberville not recruit him to Texas Tech, but he doesn’t recall that they have ever met one another.
“He did not recruit me at the time,” Mahomes said. “I don’t remember if I ever got to meet him or not.”

Yikes.
Patrick Mahomes Has Bigger Things On His Mind As The Super Bowl Draws Near
U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama falsely claimed that he recruited and was good friends with Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes made it clear that neither of those things is true.
Aside from that, the Chiefs quarterback has bigger fish to fry.
Mahomes has won three Super Bowls during his NFL career to date. His three Lombardi Trophies are tied with former Dallas Cowboys star Troy Aikman for the fourth-most by a starting quarterback in NFL history.
The Kansas City Chiefs will chase history on Sunday with an unprecedented Super Bowl “three-peat,” which would make them the only team to ever accomplish this feat.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
