What was the impetus for his comments? It’s unclear, but the brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been the focus of a few stories lately.

On Wednesday, we published a story about Jackson claiming a spot on an infamous list for being one of the most disliked NFL figures. He made the list despite just being a spectator and the family member of a player.

A few days earlier, we had a story about how Jackson allegedly didn’t live up to his end of the bargain with a small business.

Jackson has become a big social media personality, and he and Patrick’s fiancee have generated many haters due to their behavior. When the Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs, Jackson and Brittany Matthews got the meme treatment.

There aren’t any other brothers of players in the NFL who are more disliked than Jackson. That’s not a media creation, but the byproduct of his behavior.
