A Fan in Utah Named a Street After Whitehouse's Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes was THE star of the Whitehouse Wildcats football team during his high school days in Whitehouse, Texas. From there, he took his talents to Lubbock to lead the Texas Tech Red Raiders. While there, he put up some impressive numbers and won some big games.

One of the more fun parts of my job is I name streets. I was actually watching a game while I was working and I thought, 'oh why don’t I name a street after Patrick Mahomes. That’ll be fun.' - real estate developer Cameron Jackson

The naming of the street did draw some raised eyebrows from some of the residents. Being that Utah is between Nevada and Colorado, the town is home to both Las Vegas Raider and Denver Bronco fans. Both of those teams are bitter rivals of Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs. To make this story even more interesting is that the town also has a Kelce Street, though that one is Not named after Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
