“Wish Patrick Mahomes Was Like You”: Creed Humphrey Giving Autographs Despite Resistance from PR Team, Reminds Fans of ‘Can’t Sign for Everyone’ Incident

The star center for Kansas City Chiefs, Creed Humphrey, is winning over the hearts of fans with his genuine kindness. Recently, Humphrey defied the Chiefs’ PR team’s resistance and continued to give away autographs to eager fans. This incident reminded fans of a different incident involving his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes who denied a fan for his autograph.

Mahomes’ act had drawn contrasting opinions among fans. While many felt that the QB was well within his rights to say no to a nagging parent who wanted an autograph for his son, others claimed that Patrick should have signed for the kid. On the other hand, Creed’s recent act of kindness is only drawing positive reactions.

Refusing To Disappoint: Creed Humphrey’s Autograph Signing Spree

Creed Humphrey in his post-Kansas City Chiefs camp practice made a heartwarming gesture that left fans in awe. The Pro Bowl center raced down the line, taking the time to sign autographs for everyone he possibly could. The Chiefs’ PR team asked Pro Bowl center Creed Humphrey to wrap up signing autographs, but he responded in a remarkable way. Creed humbly asserted, “Nope, gonna sign for everybody,” refusing to disappoint his fans.

His act of generosity received praise from fans and on social media. Twitter was flooded with appreciation for Creed’s kind gesture. One user tweeted, “Creed signed some autographs after practice! What a nice guy.” However, there was a sharp comparison drawn between Patrick Mahomes, as he refused to sign earlier on the advice of the PR team. This tweet said, “Wish Patrick Mahomes was like you..while he denied a kid an autograph, you signed for everyone despite the PR team’s request not to.”

Creed Humphrey’s thoughtful gesture was met with admiration by many, but it also sparked discussions about the PR team’s approach to restricting players from signing autographs. One fan expressed their opinion on Twitter, stating, “No reason a PR should be telling a player to stop signing autographs.” The approach is certainly debatable, giving fans a bitter experience for players like Patrick Mahomes who refuse to autograph, even with a wide fan following.

With Creed’s recent signing spree making headlines, Mahomes’ previous encounter with fans has resurfaced, leading to discussions on whether he could have handled it in a similar manner as Creed did.

Patrick Mahomes and Creed Humphrey: Contrasting Autograph Stories

Surrounded by enthusiastic fans at the American Century Championship, Patrick Mahomes found himself in a situation where a young kid asked for his autograph. However, Mahomes declined the request, later stating, “They told me I can’t do anymore. I was signing stuff, and they said I was taking too long.”

A kid standing behind him couldn’t stop himself from asking for an autograph. “Mr. Mahomes, will you sign my jersey when you’re done?” to which Mahomes refused. The video went viral with Patrick Mahomes’ response saying, “Can’t sign for everyone, can’t make everybody happy.” The kid’s father urged Mahomes, “Yeah, you can, you can just make one kid happy out of a hundred.” However, the quarterback stood firm and said, “I’ll make 99 sad.”

This incident sparked mixed reactions, with some fans expressing disappointment while others defended Mahomes’ decision. Green Bay Packers inside linebacker De’Vondre Campbell and others, including Dov Kleiman, came out in support of the star QB. De’Vondre Campbell tweeted in support, writing “I’m gonna say this for every Pro Athlete that’s scared to say it. WE DON’T OWE YOU AN AUTOGRAPH JUST BECAUSE YOU ASKED FOR IT.”

Creed Humphrey’s recent autograph spree has garnered praise and highlighted the contrast in approach. Additionally, it’s essential not to demonize Mahomes solely based on this incident. Each athlete has their reasons for their actions, and Mahomes was straightforward about being unable to accommodate every request due to time constraints. The highlight of the day, however, still remains Creed Humphrey’s sweet gesture.
