Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is on the verge of NFL history, aiming for a three-peat in Super Bowl LVIII. But as the star QB prepares for the big game, another Mahomes is making headlines. His lesser-known half-brother, Graham Walker, has officially declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter in the Mahomes family legacy.
Patrick Mahomes’ brother sets his sights on the NFL
Graham Walker made his announcement on Instagram in partnership with Equity Sports, emphasizing his readiness to take the next step in his football career. His post highlighted his achievements, including the prestigious Frederick Fritz Pollard Award in 2023, along with recognition in the All-Ivy Phil Steele Awards. Despite not sharing the same mainstream attention as Patrick, Graham has quietly built an impressive college football resume.
Born to Pat Mahomes Sr., Graham was raised by his mother, Jessamyn Walker, and stepfather, Gerry Howatt. However, his biological father has no doubts about his lineage. Reacting to his son’s draft declaration, Mahomes Sr. proudly stated, “He definitely is a Mahomes,” crediting both Graham’s mother and stepfather for shaping his journey.
Walker played college football at Rice University before transferring to Brown, where he made a mark in 2023 with 540 receiving yards and six touchdowns. His progress has drawn attention from fans, many of whom are now speculating about which NFL team might take a chance on him.

Many speculated whether Graham could end up on the Chiefs roster alongside his superstar brother, reigniting hopes for another sibling storyline in the NFL, much like the Kelce brothers' famous rivalry.
With the 2025 NFL Draft still months away, all eyes will be on Graham Walker to see if he can carve out his own legacy in professional football. Will he land with the Chiefs, or will another team take a chance on him? One thing is certain—his journey to the NFL has officially begun.
