Patrick Mahomes calls Harrison Butker ‘a great person. See why:

More than a week after making headlines with his controversial commencement address at Benedictine College, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker attended his team’s first day of voluntary workouts. Butker did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid did – and not surprisingly, they were asked about the May 11 speech in which Butker expressed radical views on gender roles and took shots at abortion, President Biden and Pride month while addressing the 485 students graduating from the private Catholic college in Atchison, Kan.

There’s certain things that he said that I don’t necessarily agree with, but I understand the person that he is and he’s trying to do whatever he can to lead people in the right direction,” Mahomes said. “And that might not be the same values I have, but at the same time I’m going to judge him by the character that he shows every single day and that’s a great person.” Reid said: “I talk to Harrison all the time. I didn’t talk to him about this. I didn’t think we needed to. We’re a microcosm of life here. Everybody’s from different areas, different religions, different races. And so we all get along. We all respect each other’s opinions.” Also, as the NFL concluded its spring meetings Wednesday in Nashville, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell responded to a question about Butker’s comments by saying: “We have over 3,000 players. We have executives around the league that have a diversity of opinions and thoughts, just like America does. I think that is something that we treasure, and that’s part of, I think, ultimately what makes us as a society better.”

Reid was asked Wednesday what he would tell women on staff if they came to him with concerns over what Butker said in his speech. “That hasn’t happened,” Reid said. “I don’t think he was speaking ill to women. But he has his opinions and we all respect that. I let you guys in this room, and you all have a lot of opinions that I don’t like.” Butker, Reid and Mahomes have all been members of a Chiefs team that has taken part in four of the last five Super Bowls and won three, including the last two. Mahomes said he could vouch for Butker’s character.
