Mahomes Gifts Signed Jersey to Boy, Condemns Thief Over Stolen Headband
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — October 5, 2025, 11:45 PM (GMT+7)
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has turned a painful moment into a gesture of goodwill, presenting a signed jersey to Ethan Miller, the 10-year-old fan robbed of a headband after the Chiefs’ 22-9 Week 3 win over the New York Giants on September 21, 2025, at MetLife Stadium. However, Mahomes didn’t hold back in condemning the woman responsible, known as “Giants Karen,” for failing to return the stolen item despite her promises.
The Chiefs sent the kid, who that terrible woman snatched Pat's headband away from, a lovely gift package. ❤️🔥

The incident, which went viral with over 1.5 million views on X, saw Nina Miller snatch the headband Mahomes tossed to Ethan during his birthday celebration. Today, October 5, Mahomes fulfilled his pledge to make amends, hosting Ethan at Arrowhead Stadium for a private meet-and-greet. The young fan received a custom Chiefs jersey with Mahomes’ signature, along with a stadium tour and a personal chat. “Ethan’s smile today made it all worth it,” Mahomes said. “He’s a true Chiefs fan, and I wanted to give him something special.”
Yet, the joy was tempered by frustration over Miller’s actions. Despite her TikTok apology on September 30—“My apologies to that young boy, sorry kid, I’ll try to make it right”—she has not returned the headband. Mahomes sharply criticized: “That kind of theft is utterly shameful. I know that headband could fetch a high price since she’s not a Chiefs fan, but I hope no one buys it—a stolen souvenir tainted by greed.” His words reflect disappointment in the lack of integrity, urging fans to shun any potential sale.
Ethan’s father, Mark Miller, expressed gratitude: “Patrick turned a bad day into a dream come true for Ethan. We’re still waiting for that woman to do the right thing.” Chiefs Kingdom rallied on X with #MahomesJustice, with one fan posting, “Nina should be ashamed—Pat’s class shines through!” Tavia Hunt, wife of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, supported the effort, noting on Instagram, “Justice for Ethan is served with this jersey.”
The NFL has yet to comment, but the league may review fan conduct policies. As the Chiefs (4-1) prepare for their Week 6 clash with the Denver Broncos on October 12, Mahomes’ actions reinforce his bond with fans. “This is about respect and doing right by our kids,” he added.
