Patrick Mahomes' Game-Day Superstition: Same Red Underwear for Years

Kansas City Chiefs Quarterback Attributes Successful Career to Unusual Ritual

  • Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes revealed on a recent 'Manningcast' that he has been wearing the same pair of red underwear for every game for years, a superstition he attributes to his successful career.
  • Mahomes' unusual ritual was first brought to light by his former backup quarterback Chad Henne during a podcast interview earlier this year.
  • The Chiefs quarterback has had a remarkable career so far, with two league most valuable player awards, three Super Bowl appearances, two Super Bowl wins and two Super Bowl MVPs.
  • Mahomes' superstition is not unique among athletes, with many other successful sports figures known to have their own peculiar rituals.
  • Despite the oddity of his superstition, Mahomes' performance on the field, including a 71-18 regular season record and 11-3 playoff record, suggests it may be working for him.
