Harrison Butker's faith has rubbed off on Patrick Mahomes, teammates, Chiefs owner's daughter says

Gracie Hunt talks to OutKick's Riley Gaines about Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker inspiring the locker room through his faith.

Harrison Butker may have garnered criticism last year off the field, but according to Gracie Hunt, the daughter of the Kansas City Chiefs owner, his presence in the locker room is certainly felt.

Butker became a rather polarizing figure last offseason after he gave a faith-based commencement speech at Benedictine College and urged women to embrace the title of "homemaker." 

The controversial speech garnered much praise and backlash.

Butker also went after former President Joe Biden, adding, "Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media all stem from pervasiveness of disorder."

However, shortly after the speech, Butker's jersey became one of the most popular on the NFL's online shop.

Butker has not shied away from embracing his faith, and Hunt said that has rubbed off on his teammates, including Patrick Mahomes. 

"Harrison is an amazing guy, and the most kind, genuine person. He is an awesome family man, they're so sweet and precious. I think what's been really cool to see this year, especially, is that it's such a sense of iron sharpening iron," Hunt told Riley Gaines on OutKick's "Gaines for Girls" podcast..
