Patrick Mahomes and his family, like millions of Americans, took part in checking out the solar eclipse on Monday. While Mahomes is a back to back Super Bowl champion he is first and foremost a father and husband.
When the Kansas City Chiefs‘ quarterback saw his daughter looking directly into the sun during the eclipse, he took action quickly to protect her. The video has now gone viral on social media of the wholesome moment between Mahomes and his daughter.
Patrick Mahomes Runs To Protect His Daughter
While we have seen Mahomes come up incredibly clutch in the big moments on the football field, here he is seen coming up clutch to protect his daughter from looking directly at the eclipse. He saw his three year old daughter Sterling looking directly at the eclipse and rushed into action to protect her.
The video that has gone viral was posted by Mahomes’ wife Brittany to her Instagram story, where Patrick can be seen running quickly to block Sterling eyes from looking directly into the eclipse.
“Don’t look, Sterling,” Brittany can be heard saying in the background.

The other clips she shared were very wholesome, and it is amazing to see the NFL’s best player enjoying life with his family before he takes on the league again to go for a third straight Super Bowl. Mahomes has had a very busy off season coming off his back to back titles, and it has had some family drama to say the least.
It’s great to see Patrick Mahomes enjoying his off season before things start to get very busy for him.
