In a jaw-dropping moment during the Colorado-Texas Tech clash, an ex-Packers player took aim at Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, sparking a social media frenzy and stirring the already passionate atmosphere. This unexpected challenge came from Charles Woodson, the legendary cornerback, who hinted that Mahomes’ recent performances might not hold up under pressure—particularly in comparison to how he himself dealt with intense moments on the field. Woodson’s pointed comments, laced with criticism, suggested that Mahomes has yet to face the kind of fierce competition that “real” NFL legends endured, subtly diminishing Mahomes’ accomplishments in his young career.
What added fuel to the fire was the setting: a college football clash between Colorado and Texas Tech, which happens to be Mahomes’ alma mater. Fans from both sides took to social media, with Texas Tech fans rallying behind Mahomes and calling out Woodson for his “disrespect.” Many couldn’t help but wonder if Woodson’s comments were more than just personal opinions, speculating if they held undertones of envy or competition from a past era of football.
Mahomes, known for his poise and talent, has not responded publicly yet, leaving fans to anticipate a possible showdown or response.
