Ex-NFL player and radio host apologizes for spreading fake rumor about Patrick Mahomes’ family

Countless people bought into the fake news that Patrick Mahomes had a meeting to ask family to no longer attend Chiefs games. What a hectic week it has been for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

A few days back, a report made its way to Twitter, stating Mahomes met with his wife and brother to ask them to no longer attend games. Mahomes didn’t waste any time in hopping on Twitter to say it wasn’t true, while many other insiders came out and bashed those rumors as well.

Well, former NFL player Rich Ohrnberger tweeted out that info and has since deleted it. Patrick Mahomes rumors continue to swirl this offseason

“I can’t substantiate the information that I tweeted out earlier today regarding Patrick Mahomes and his family,”

Ohrnberger, who is also a radio host, said via Chron.com. “The source I received this information from was posing as someone I trust. I will delete this tweet later today along with the original thread. Please pass this along.”

This is obviously a bad look for Ohrnberger, but everyone is trying to find out who ended up starting spreading all of this in the first place. We may never find out. Having said that, Mahomes indeed said this wasn’t true.

Both Mahomes’ wife and brother have received plenty of attention at games over the years, but it hasn’t taken away from the signal-caller’s focus.

He’s still one of the best in the game and will always have Kansas City in a prime spot to go on a deep postseason run when he’s behind center. While KC lost a heartbreaker in the AFC Championship Game, people are already thinking they’ll be in the hunt to win the Super Bowl come next season.
