Patrick Mahomes surprises everyone with announcement of new deal: “This is just the beginning”
The Chiefs quarterback marked a Hall of Fame moment with an unexpected move for Texas high school football.
Patrick Mahomes didn’t just celebrate his induction into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame at the weekend. He used the moment to announce something bigger – something that hints at a legacy beyond the NFL.
Mahomes building a legacy
The Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback, fresh off a season where he threw for 3,928 yards and 26 touchdowns, surprised fans by launching a new initiative with Adidas. Fifteen high schools will now join “Team Mahomes,” meaning those schools’ football uniforms will carry his personal Gladiator logo - starting with his alma mater, Whitehouse High School in Texas.
“Whitehouse, Texas, is where it all began,” Mahomes said. “It’s an honor… and this is just the beginning.”
Patrick Mahomes just announced that he’s partnering with Adidas to provide custom jerseys to 15 high school teams across the county similar to his Mahomes x Adidas collaboration w/ Texas Tech.

It’s a subtle but calculated move from the two-time MVP. Rather than endorsing a product or teasing another contract restructure, he’s planting roots deeper into youth football... his kind of football.
