While Kansas City Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes is known for his electrifying skills on the field, he’s also known for his supportive family, including his four siblings. Jackson and Zoe Mahomes and Mia Randall are more used to the spotlight; however, Patrick has another half-brother who likes to work hard but a little bit more in the shadows.
We’ll share everything we know about his half-brother, Graham Walker.
Meet Graham Walker, Patrick Mahomes’ Half-Brother and Rice University Playmaker
Mahomes’ most infamous sibling is his younger brother, Jackson Mahomes. However, he has three half-siblings — two half-sisters and his half-brother, Graham Walker.
Walker is the third son of Mahomes’ father, Pat Mahomes Sr. “They say he’s the one who looks most like me, but maybe the other boys will disagree a little bit, but he’s definitely a Mahomes,” Mahomes Sr. said in an interview with Fox 4 in Kansas City.
Although Mahomes Sr. is his biological father, Walker was raised by Jessamyn Walker and Gerry Howatt. Additionally, he has two other siblings, his sisters Mireille and Kayla. Walker and Mahomes Sr. haven’t had a normal relationship but have kept in contact.
“His manners are intact, his stepdad did a great job with him, his mom did a great job with him, and now I’m getting the chance to put my hands on him a little more,” Mahomes Sr. said.
“[Graham] finally decided he wants to be a serious football player, so we have him in the transfer portal,” Mahomes Sr. went on. “Hopefully he’s going to choose a school here soon and we can go on with the next chapter.” He eventually chose to transfer to Rice University.
With impressive stats from his previous three seasons at Brown — 127 catches, 1,496 yards, and 15 touchdowns — Walker is poised for a breakout year in a more competitive league; he’s set to follow his brother’s footsteps and make a name for himself in the football world.
Standing at 6’3″ and weighing 215 pounds, Walker’s physical presence is similar to that of his famous brother, making him a natural fit for the wide receiver or tight end position.
“He’s come to the realization that he has a chance to play in the NFL, so he’s going to try and go out and explore all the possibilities,” his dad said. “[He’ll take] whatever road that leads to try to give himself a chance to play at the next level like we all want to.”
Although they didn’t grow up together, Walker and Mahomes have met multiple times. “[Patrick] is supportive,” Mahomes Sr. said. “He’s supportive as he always is. Hopefully, in this offseason, Patrick will get a chance to throw the football to him as he runs routes as Patrick always has his receivers come down, so we’re looking forward to that.”

The family hopes Mahomes can help open up an opportunity for Walker.
“You know, his word may be a little good, so maybe he can get [Graham] in the door too,” Mahomes Sr. said.
