Patrick Mahomes couldn’t believe this flag football catch

Young Wide Receiver Impresses Patrick Mahomes at NFL Flag Championships

Patrick Mahomes, the three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, may have found a potential new wide receiver for his team. During the 2025 NFL Flag Championships, a young player made a jaw-dropping touchdown catch that caught Mahomes’ attention.

The player in question, Brysen Wright of Jaguars Elite, showcased incredible skills as he cut through three defenders to make a spectacular catch in mid-air before landing in the end zone. The catch, which Wright made with just one hand, left everyone in awe, including the announcers covering the game.

Wright, a high school class of 2028 wide receiver from Jacksonville, Florida, has already garnered attention from multiple college programs. According to reports, he has received scholarship offers from schools like Ohio State, Texas, Georgia, Miami, Florida State, and Colorado.

Flag football has been gaining popularity across all age groups, leading to the NFL allowing player participation in the sport at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed his excitement about this decision, stating that it would help in making football a global sport for people of all ages and backgrounds.

While Mahomes initially showed interest in participating in flag football at the Olympics, he later mentioned that he might leave it to the younger players. As he jokingly remarked to reporters, “I’ll probably leave that to the younger guys. I’ll be a little older by the time that comes around.”

Overall, Wright’s incredible catch has not only impressed Mahomes but has also highlighted the talent and potential in flag football, setting the stage for the sport to reach new heights in the coming years.
