The Near-Death Experience That Patrick Mahomes Survived

In May 2017, Patrick Mahomes — along with three other people — found themselves in a very scary situation. According to KLTV, the four individuals were getting out of their car when a white male suspect pulled up into their driveway and robbed them of any property they had — while also alluding to be carrying a gun around his waist. After securing their belongings, the suspect was then reported to have sped off in his vehicle. 

The attack took place in Smith County, Texas, and according to the press conference — held by the Smith County Sheriff's Office — deputies were initially called to the home for an "aggravated robbery." Shortly after they took everyone's statements, law enforcement was able to track down the suspect's vehicle and arrested two men in connection to the crime. Shaken no doubt, still, Mahomes remained grateful to have made it out of the situation unhurt. "I can't get into all the details of it," he said at the time, per Yahoo! Sports. "It's an open investigation and all that. But I am just glad that my friends and I are all safe. I am happy the police got the suspect fast. Everyone is safe, which is most important."

Despite the unfortunate incident, however, Mahomes remained unfazed, going on to have a great first year in the NFL. And as many already know, his next year was even better. But perhaps, all of this was achievable because Mahomes knew justice had been served.
