Another East Texas High School Will Receive Custom Jerseys From Patrick Mahomes

(Longview, Texas) - A lot of East Texans have made it into the National Football League (NFL) over the years. A few of those East Texas athletes have made it to the Super Bowl. Whitehouse Wildcat Patrick Mahomes and Groveton Indian Lane Johnson played against each other in Super Bowl LIX with Johnson's Philadelphia Eagles winning the trophy.

Neither of these athletes have forgotten where they got started in their football journey. Patrick handed out cleats to players at his alma mater several years ago. Over the summer, Patrick announced a collaboration with Adidas to provide football jerseys to high schools across the country starting in Whitehouse.
