The Feb. 3 arrest came just one week before Patrick and the Chiefs won their second consecutive Super Bowl. The 2024 victory was the quarterback's third NFL championship in five years.

Patrick was asked about his father's arrest during press conferences ahead of the Super Bowl, and shared that Mahomes Sr. was "doing good."

“He's doing good,” Patrick said Feb. 5. "I don't really want to get into it too much, but he's doing good for whatever the situation is."

He added, "It's a family matter. I'll just keep it to the family, and that's all I really have to say at this point."

Mahomes Sr. was an MLB pitcher from 1992 to 2003. He played for the Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburg Pirates.
