Patrick Mahomes has revealed his secret to winning two Super Bowl titles - wearing the same pair of underwear.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback admitted that he’s worn the same pair of red underwear each game since he joined the NFL in 2017. “First, my wife Brittany [Mahomes] got them for me, so I’m not throwing y’all down, but I have to wear them,” he told Peyton and Eli Manning during ManningCast on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
“At the same time, I threw them on that first season. We had a pretty good season that season,” Mahomes added. The 28-year-old athlete acknowledged that he only wears the lucky pair of underwear on “game day” so they’re “not too worn down” or “nasty”.
“I wash them every once in a while, at least,” Mahomes said, before adding: “If we’re on a hot streak, I can’t wash them. I gotta just keep it rolling.”
“As long as I’m winning football games, I’ll keep the superstition going.”
Mahomes’ game day superstition was first revealed by his former teammate, Chad Henne, who said he wears the same pair of red underwear each game. “Same pair of underwear, which probably not a lot of people know, on game day. He’s been wearing it since I’ve been part of it,” the former backup quarterback said on The Adam Schefter Podcast last year.
“They’re red. I’m not sure if they’re Hanes or if they’re Lululemon, but it’s one or two of those brands, and ever since he comes in the locker room - boom, it’s right there,” Henne explained. “I’ll be stretching, and like I said, you just glimpse up, and you’re like: ‘Damn, kid’s wearing them again.’”
“This definitely has to be a superstition and a good-luck charm, for sure,” he added.
