Patrick Mahomes once said he didn’t talk to controversial Chiefs teammate Harrison Butker

Patrick Mahomes once revealed he wasn’t friends with his controversial Kansas City Chiefs teaMMAte Harrison Butker.

“I don’t talk to Harrison Butker all year,” the quarterback said on the “Pat McAfee Show” following his third Super Bowl win in February. “I just let him do his thing.”

When asked if Mahomes says “hi” to the kicker in passing, he responded, “We sit right beside each other in team meetings and I don’t say one word to him, only before the season and after the season, that’s the only time I talk to him.”

Despite not having a bond with Butker, the father of two admitted he could count on his teammate on the field.

“I know if I can just cross that 40 [yard line] … he’s going to put it through [the upright],” Mahomes, 28, said.

Reflecting on a mishap at the Super Bowl, he added, “If you saw in the game I got a little pressure, threw it short and knew Harrison was going to knock it through.”

Reps for Mahomes weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

Mahomes’ interview recently resurfaced following Butker’s controversial anti-LGBTQ and sexist graduation speech at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., May 11.

During his speech, the NFL star candidly admitted he’s “gained quite the reputation for speaking [his] mind” before going on to attack “dangerous gender ideologies.”

“Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder,” he said.

Butker, 28, also had a message for the female graduates, explaining their “most important title” should be “homemaker.”

“Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world,” the football pro continued.

“I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.”

Butker also referenced Taylor Swift toward the end of his speech, reciting lyrics from her 2022 song “Bejeweled.”

“As my teammate’s girlfriend says, ‘Familiarity breeds contempt,'” he said.

While Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, have yet to speak out about Butker’s controversial remarks, he previously discussed meeting the “humble” popstar at a New Year’s Eve party.

“I was nervous to meet Taylor Swift,” he told EWTN’s “News in Depth” in March. “But it was a great experience and I can’t say enough great things about her.”

Butker furthered he hopes the “Lover” songstress and the tight end, both 34, “get married and start a family.”

Meanwhile, the NFL condemned Butker’s speech, insisting his beliefs don’t reflect the organization.

“Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity,” Jonathan Beane, the NFL’s senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer, told People Wednesday.

“His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”
