Chiefs Invite Patrick Mahomes’ Little-Known Brother to Rookie Minicamp: Graham Walker Gets a Shot at NFL Dreams
The Kansas City Chiefs may be hoping a bit of family magic can strike twice. While the world knows about star quarterback Patrick Mahomes—and his viral-prone brother Jackson—few have heard of another Mahomes relative who’s now getting his own chance to shine in the NFL.
Graham Walker, a lesser-known younger brother of Patrick Mahomes, has been invited to the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp. It’s a low-risk, high-upside opportunity for both the team and the player. If he impresses, he could not only earn a contract but also land the rare opportunity to play alongside his superstar sibling.
Walker played college football at Brown University, where he showcased flashes of talent as a tight end and wide receiver. Though he didn’t receive the national spotlight that some prospects enjoy, Walker stood out with his versatility, strong hands, and route-running—traits that could make him a fit in Andy Reid’s complex, creative offense.
The Chiefs aren’t just giving Walker a look because of his last name. With the departure of several depth pieces and the aging of star tight end Travis Kelce, Kansas City is in search of new weapons.
Rookie minicamp provides a platform for longshots to prove they can contribute, and Walker will be looking to seize that opportunity.
Playing with a sibling in the NFL is rare, and doing so with a generational quarterback like Mahomes is even rarer. If Walker shows chemistry with his brother during drills, it could be a storyline that captivates fans and adds another dimension to the Chiefs’ offense.
While the odds are long—rookie minicamp invites don’t guarantee a roster spot—the door is open. For Walker, it’s a chance to prove he belongs at the highest level of football. For the Chiefs, it’s a calculated shot at uncovering a hidden gem, while adding a compelling layer to the Mahomes dynasty.
As the Chiefs look to reload for another championship run, the idea of Mahomes throwing to his own brother in a real NFL game is as intriguing as it is heartwarming. And if Walker delivers on his potential, that scenario might be more than just a fun thought—it could become reality.
Could Kansas City’s next offensive weapon be hiding in the Mahomes family tree? Time will tell.
