Old footage of Patrick Mahomes playing high school basketball resurfaces

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ high-school basketball highlights have resurfaced in a new video posted to X by former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Mahomes was a three-sport athlete at Whitehouse High School in East Texas before his dazzling career at Texas Tech and now with the Kansas City Chiefs.

With a father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., who was a Major League baseball pitcher for a decade, and knowing his talent on the gridiron, the three-time Super Bowl winner’s skills on the hardwood were the hardest to imagine.

Griffin posted the minute-long highlight tape to X on Wednesday morning with the caption: ‘Kansas City Chiefs All Galaxy QB Patrick Mahomes saucy basketball highlights @PatrickMahomes’, with a shocked face emoji.

Mahomes quickly responded: ‘I promise I was hoopin!!! They didn’t have to put the charge on the highlights tho,’ he said with three crying while laughing emojis.

The highlight tape starts with three one-handed dunks from prep Mahomes, who may have been still growing into his 6-foot-2 frame.

Then the film shows Mahomes making eight mid-range or 3-point baskets in a row.

Mahomes appears taller than most of his opponents in small-school Texas prep basketball, but is playing traditionally more of a point-guard style.

The now-Chiefs quarterback’s more physical side comes out during the end of the tape, making a few tough and-one baskets, as well as taking a charge.

Mahomes also converts a tricky cross-court pass that bounces twice to a teammate.

The last highlight on the tape shows a Mahomes pass from the perimeter into the low-post where his Whitehouse teammate easily scores off the backboard.
