Rumors are swirling again about one of the biggest “what-ifs” in recent NFL history: Did the Dallas Cowboys really pass on Patrick Mahomes?

According to a recently resurfaced source claiming insider knowledge from the 2017 draft process, Mahomes was on the Cowboys’ radar—but not high enough. The anonymous scout alleges that Mahomes had a pre-draft interview with the team, but Dallas ultimately didn’t believe he was the right long-term fit.

The Cowboys famously picked defensive end Taco Charlton with the 28th overall pick, while Mahomes went 10th to the Kansas City Chiefs—where he’s since become a two-time MVP and Super Bowl champion. The comparison between what was and what could’ve been has haunted fans for years.

Fueling the fire, a screenshot allegedly showing internal notes from Dallas’ front office went viral this week, suggesting Mahomes was “too raw” and “not NFL-ready.” While no official source has verified the image, it reignited heated debate on Cowboys social media circles.

But here’s the truth: The Cowboys did host Mahomes for a visit, and Jerry Jones has publicly admitted that Mahomes was a name of interest. However, they never had a legitimate shot to draft him without trading up. Kansas City moved aggressively, something Dallas wasn’t prepared to do at the time.

So yes, the Cowboys missed out—but calling it a “rejection” may be rewriting history a little too much.

 

💥 Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid Takes Full Responsibility After Humiliating Loss to Jaguars — “We Have to Learn, Grow and Get Better From This Loss.” 👇
Jacksonville, FL – October 6, 2025 The Kansas City Chiefs suffered one of their most shocking defeats in recent memory — and head coach Andy Reid isn’t running from it. Following the Chiefs’ 31–28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Reid faced reporters with a rare tone of humility and accountability, taking full responsibility for the team’s underwhelming performance. “It’s tough, but this is part of the process,” Reid said. “We need to take responsibility for the mistakes we made, learn from them, and come back stronger. This loss doesn’t define us — it’s a chance for us to grow, and we’ll be better moving forward.” The game quickly spiraled out of control for Kansas City. A string of offensive miscues, dropped passes, and blown coverages left Patrick Mahomes visibly frustrated on the sidelines, while the Jaguars capitalized on nearly every opportunity. It was a humbling night for a franchise known for poise under pressure — and fans didn’t hold back online.One fan wrote, “We just got outplayed and outcoached. Period.” Another added, “Andy Reid owning it — that’s what leadership looks like.” Despite the backlash, many believe Reid’s words carry the calm confidence that has defined his career. “You’re going to hit bumps in the road,” he continued. “What matters is how you respond — and I know this group will respond the right way.” As the Chiefs prepare for a pivotal Week 6 matchup, Reid’s message is clear: this team isn’t broken — it’s learning. And if history tells us anything, a wounded Kansas City team is the last thing the rest of the NFL wants to face.
