NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes is a man of many talents. The Kansas City Chiefs, however, don't want him utilizing his skills on the hardwood.
of the quarterback schooling defenders in a pickup game of basketball, the Chiefs brass put its foot down.
Speaking to , GM Brett Veach said the team contacted Mahomes' agent after seeing the video of the player crossing over and spinning past defenders.
"Yes I did see the tweet of Pat Mahomes playing basketball," Veach said. "We did address it and as soon as I saw, it probably took me two seconds to call his agent and tell him that was a big 'no no.' So I think the (Chiefs) Kingdom can rest assured that we have that under control. No more basketball for Pat."
Added Veach: "We were able to nip that in the bud and we feel good about the plan of no basketball with Pat moving forward."
The concern from the team is obvious; they don't want their superstar quarterback risking potential injury in a pickup game. , however, if there isn't a stipulation in the 23-year-old's contract against playing basketball, there is little recourse for the team if Mahomes were to decide to ignore the order.
