The NFL is back, which means the constant trolling of Jackson Mahomes, younger brother to Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The TikTok star, who makes waves on the internet by antagonizing opposing teams and doing his version of popular dances, has stoked the ire of many, including NFL players.
Recently, former Mahomes teammate Tyreek Hill spoke about his dislike of Jackson Mahomes directly when asked a question about the lengths he would go to win a Super Bowl; apparently, anything that has to do with Jackson Mahomes is the limit for Hill.
The former Kansas City Chiefs WR appeared on a new sports show by YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, and when the newly minted Miami Dolphin was asked if he was willing to be handcuffed to Jackson Mahomes to win a Super Bowl, his answer was authentic.

“Would you get handcuffed to Patrick Mahomes for 24 hours to win another Super Bowl?” asked Julia Rose, Paul’s girlfriend.
“Oh no, no, no, no way! You said handcuffed to Jackson Mahomes? I ain’t even going to cap to y’all; that Super Bowl could goddamn wait,” Hill said before laughing.
Immediately, the internet co-signed Hill’s sentiments, and the Jackson Mahomes dislike permeated the digital universe in unison. Mahomes already started this season off with his antics during Kansas City’s win over the Washington Commanders in a preseason game last weekend. During the 24-14 K.C. win, Mahomes couldn’t wait to announce his return.
“You know you missed us! #chiefskingdom,” Jackson posted on Instagram in a smiling on-field picture with his brother.
After people clowned the post, he followed up with another, this time with Brittney Mahomes, wife of Patrick Mahomes, and his niece, Sterling, also on the field, with the caption, “The trio you guys have missed.. :).”

Aside from being considered generally corny and annoying, the younger Mahomes had gotten in trouble for his on-field antics, like when he did a TikTok dancing on the memorial tribute to fallen former Commanders player Sean Taylor last year.
“I want to sincerely apologize for accidentally being on the Sean Taylor #21 at FedEx Field,” Mahomes tweeted. “We were directed to stand in that area, and I meant absolutely no disrespect to him or his family.”
People thought the deflection by Mahomes was not honorable, and it only poured gas on an already smoldering fire of resentment against the younger Mahomes.
Hill has already been seen as someone with a chip on his shoulder against Patrick Mahomes as he was quick to tout what he feels are the talents of his current QB Tua Tagovailoa.

“Obviously, like I’m gonna go with 15 as the strongest arm, but as far as accuracy-wise, I’m going with Tua all day,” Hill said on his “It Needed To Be Said” podcast.
Now he has come directly for Jackson, and his new life as South Florida’s top wide receiver comes with double Mahomes shade for one price. When the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history feels that even a Super Bowl wouldn’t be worth affiliating with Jackson Mahomes, you know he’s a problem.
