Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Alohi Gilman spoke with reporters on Thursday at his introductory press conference, reflecting on his first career interception off quarterback Patrick Mahomes in 2021 while playing for the Los Angeles Chargers.
“I haven’t talked to him about that yet; that was the first pick of my career, too. Played the Chiefs over my first six years, almost 12 times-ish, and it never worked in my favor as much when I was over there, unfortunately,” said Gilman, “But that pick was good. That one worked out. We won the game. It was here in Arrowhead. Obviously, I’m gonna take that ball, tell my kids that that was a Super Bowl pick.”
Kansas City signed Gilman on a three-year, $24.75 million deal with $15 million guaranteed. The Chargers would end the game victorious, as Gilman believes the moment helped propel his career.
“It was a battle that game, I was a young player trying to make my way, and that was kind of like the beginning of the ascent for me to take that next step,” Gilman said. “So it really gave me a lot of confidence. Helped me take my game to the next step, competing against guys like that. So excited for it, and shoutout to Pat (Patrick Mahomes) for the first one.“
In 2025, Gilman started all 17 games he played for the Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens, recording 90 tackles. During his six-year career, he has 320 tackles, 1 sack, five interceptions, and six fumble recoveries.
