Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs were able to overcome the obstacles that were in front of them. They were able to silence all the naysayers and go on to win the Super Bowl title. However, behind every success story, there are sacrifices that have been made. Needless to say, the champions paid the price of the Super Bowl win. In the case of Mahomes, it was his threatening ankle injury.

Throughout the post-season play, Mahomes had nursed a bum ankle and had performed well in spite of it. Interestingly, on the New Heights podcast, he was asked about his injury and his answer was very cagey.

Is Patrick Mahomes avoiding talking about his injury?

One of the latest episodes of the New Heights podcast was a live component that included people like Roger Goodell and Mahomes making appearances on it. The whole episode revolved around featuring the answers of the guests to a live audience. And one of these guests was Mahomes. While speaking on the podcast, Jason Kelce asked the QB about his ankle.

However, the QB was awfully sly with his answer and flipped the way he was speaking to his Super Bowl rival. He mentioned how he’s been having a good summer and spoke about the latest addition to his family. He also said“I got a uh the off-season has been different as you know uh have the baby boy. congrats to you as well.”
