The 2024 arrest was a distraction just days before his son played in the Super Bowl. The father was seen driving with an open can of 16 ounces of beer and then struggled with field sobriety tests to a statement from the police. He recorded a blood alcohol level of .23.
In a 2025 episode of ESPN’s docuseries “The kingdom,” the elder Mahomes expressed regret for dividing his son’s attention.
“For him to have to answer questions about me was probably the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever experienced in my life,” he said. per people. “I called him right after and told him, ‘I’m sorry it’s taking away your time and focus.’”
The football star said he hoped the incident would bring about change.
“I think knowing it hurt me woke him up and realized you can’t keep doing the same things,” the quarterback said.
HuffPost reached out to Putman and the younger Mahomes through the Chiefs.
