Jackson Mahomes has become the talk of the NFL world for the wrong reasons. As the younger sibling of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, there has been a lot of attention that has been on the recent controversy he’s reportedly involved in. Recent reports paint a rather negative picture of the situation. For starters, the 22-year-old was far from ‘Mr.Popular’ among NFL fans. And in light of his recent alleged misbehavior, his reputation has hit rock bottom.

The internet creator has often been criticized for the content he posts online. However, recent reports of the accusations flung his way are far more serious. Accused of assaulting a waiter and forcibly kissing an older woman, Jackson Mahomes’ public image has taken a big blow. Speaking on the issue, one veteran star gave his thoughts on the possible reasons that led to the exhibition of such behavior.

In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Wiley’s comments looked at the issue from Jackson Mahomes’ perspective as the brother of one of the biggest names in the league. His ‘entourage’ theory put emphasis on the fact that the younger Mahomes is acting on his insecurities in comparison to his older brother. He said, “Seriously I’ve seen it a thousand times where you know the person on the outside who doesn’t have the same level of talent, discipline focus, determination, desire, all the things that got that star to that place. The person next to him, let’s be real doesn’t possess that.” He emphasized the fact that Jackson Mahomes didn’t have as much at stake as his brother.

He added, “So all of a sudden you mix that gumbo up, that’s the recipe for disaster and it happens a lot. Because pride comes before the fall the downfall but unearned pride escorts you right to that downfall.” Wiley’s comments pointed out the stark differences between the siblings’ trajectories and alluded to the younger Mahomes’ insecurities concerning his brother’s fame.
