Patrick Mahomes’ Similar Ordeal in 2017
It wasn’t long ago in 2017, when Robinson’s ex-teammate and Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes was robbed in a similar fashion in Texas. Mahomes was approached by three armed men in a driveway. They got out of a vehicle before they pointed the gun at Mahomes demanding his possessions. Fortunately enough, no one was injured in the incident as the Chiefs expressed their gratitude for Patrick’s safety via James Palmer at NFL Network.
“The team is thankful Patrick and everyone involved is safe because that’s what’s most important,” said Chiefs.
