Patrick Mahomes' brother catches heat for dancing on Sean Taylor's memorial logo
Jackson Mahomes got himself into hot water again, this time with a TikTok dance
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Patrick Mahomes’ brother was on the receiving end of some strong criticism from NFL fans after he was seen doing a TikTok dance on the Sean Taylor memorial logo that was on FedExField as the Kansas City Chiefs played the Washington Football Team on Sunday.
In the video, Jackson Mahomes can be seen dancing to the latest trend circulating around the social media app. Mahomes appeared to be in between the ropes that were supposed to prohibit anyone from standing on that part of the field, let alone dancing on it. Pictures appeared to show he wasn’t the only one standing in the roped-off area.

He would later tweet an apology.
"I want to sincerely apologize for accidentally being on the Sean Taylor #21 at FedEx Field. We were directed to stand in that area and I meant absolutely no disrespect to him or his family," Jackson Mahomes tweeted.

Washington retired Taylor’s number on Sunday, making him the third player in franchise history to have the honor. Washington selected Taylor with the No. 5 pick of the 2004 NFL Draft. He was a two-time Pro Bowler before he was killed in a botched robbery attempt in 2007.

"There were things that were said to him and [Patrick’s fiancé Brittany Matthews] that you don't see on the clip. He's been good at trying not to respond to that stuff. He takes a lot and he's usually pretty good at it and he'll learn from it and try to stay away from those people as best he can."
