This is the best summary I could come up with:


Tiger Woods is well known for wearing red shirts on the final day of golf tournaments, while Michael Jordan is said to have worn a lucky pair of blue basketball shorts from his University of North Carolina days under his Chicago Bulls uniform.

Apparently, NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes is no exception – the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has admitted to wearing the same pair of red underwear on game days across his whole professional football career.

Earlier this year, former Chiefs player Chad Henne, who served as the backup to Mahomes from 2018 to 2023, discussed the two-time Most Valuable Player’s off-the-field activities with ESPN and let this curious story slip.

After a few months of speculation, Mahomes has finally confirmed the rumor in an appearance on ESPN’s ManningCast with Peyton and Eli Manning of the Denver Broncos’ 24-22 win over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.

Despite this attempt to allay any hygiene-related concerns, the 28-year-old then conceded that he only washes the underpants when the team loses, which is not all too often, given Kansas City’s recent success.

The Chiefs, who also count star tight end Travis Kelce among their ranks, are currently 7-2 and are seeking their third Vince Lombardi trophy in five years.


The original article contains 364 words, the summary contains 207 words. Saved 43%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
