Mahomes Set to Speak at UT Tyler's Cowan Center This April

The two-time Super Bowl Champion and MVP, Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback, and Whitehouse native is scheduled to speak in Tyler, Texas at the UT Tyler Cowan Center this April.

Go Kansas City Chiefs!!

Despite the fact that many Dallas Cowboys fans were disappointed about how their NFL season concluded this year, many East Texas people are comforted to know that we clearly have another much-loved team to root for--of course, the Kansas City Chiefs!

And one of the reasons, naturally, that many of us are such huge fans is because the incredibly talented Patrick Mahomes is an East Texas native himself. Whitehouse, Texas, more specifically. (Mahomes was born in Tyler.)

And now, fresh off of another Super Bowl win as the incomparable "most valuable player," Patrick Mahomes is heading "home" to East Texas to speak as part of The East Texas Speakers Forum, according to the Longview News-Journal.
