“This time, I’m not speaking as a quarterback. I’m speaking as a son.”
In a video message posted this morning to his official social media accounts, Mahomes appeared visibly emotional as he spoke directly to fans and supporters across the nation:
“My mom, Randi, is fighting something that no one is ever prepared for. She’s been my light since day one — the reason I dream big, work hard, and never give up. I’m asking everyone — whether you cheer for me on Sundays or not — to please send your love, your prayers, your strength. We need it.”
