SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 620
         WHEREAS, Delivering a performance for the ages, Patrick
  Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory in the 2023 Super
  Bowl, claiming the second championship ring of his NFL career;
  and
 
         WHEREAS, Kansas City battled the Philadelphia Eagles for
  the NFL title on February 12 in Glendale, Arizona; nursing a high
  ankle sprain he sustained earlier in the playoffs, Mr. Mahomes
  reinjured the same ankle in the second quarter and limped off the
  field, carrying the Chiefs' hopes with him to the sideline bench;
  in the second half, however, this determined athlete returned to
  the game and orchestrated a signature comeback; the Chiefs erased
  a 10-point deficit and secured a 38-35 win in the closing seconds
  of the game; in recognition of his accomplishment, he was
  presented with his second Super Bowl MVP award; and
 
         WHEREAS, Born in Tyler to Pat and Randi Mahomes,
  Mr. Mahomes excelled in both baseball and football at Whitehouse
  High School and threw for 4,600 yards and 50 touchdowns on the
  gridiron as a senior; he subsequently was selected by the Detroit
  Tigers in the Major League Baseball Draft, but he instead
  enrolled at Texas Tech University, joining the baseball team and
  then switching full-time to football after earning the starting
  quarterback job for the Red Raiders during his sophomore season;
  and
 
         WHEREAS, In 2017, Kansas City made Mr. Mahomes the 10th
  overall choice in the NFL Draft; gaining widespread acclaim in
  his second year, he became only the second NFL quarterback to
  throw for 50 touchdowns and more than 5,000 yards in a single
  season, and he was named the league MVP for 2018; demonstrating
  exemplary leadership and playmaking ability, he has guided the
  Chiefs to five consecutive AFC Championship Games and three of
  the last four Super Bowls; he collected his first championship
  victory and Super Bowl MVP honor in 2020 after his team bested San
  Francisco, and Kansas City played for the title again in 2021;
  and
 
         WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Mahomes enjoys the love
  and support of his wife, Brittany Matthews Mahomes; they are the
  proud parents of two children, Sterling Skye Mahomes and Patrick
  "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III; and
 
         WHEREAS, Over the course of six NFL seasons, Patrick
  Mahomes has emerged as one of the game's premier signal callers,
  earning the admiration of fellow players and countless fans
  across the nation, and it is indeed a pleasure to join in
  recognizing him for his exceptional achievements; now,
  therefore, be it
 
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby congratulate Patrick Mahomes for leading the
  Kansas City Chiefs to the 2023 Super Bowl championship and extend
  to him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
  further
 
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
  prepared for Mr. Mahomes as an expression of high regard from the
  Texas Senate.
