Patrick Mahomes reflects on feeling “old” after Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola gains attention for his striking resemblance and similar playstyle to the Chiefs’ star.
One sign that a young star has officially become a veteran is when rising athletes start copying their style.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes learned this firsthand, thanks to Nebraska’s standout quarterback, Dylan Raiola.
Raiola made waves on social media recently, not just for his performance on the field but for his uncanny resemblance to Mahomes.
Fans quickly noticed the similarities, with many drawing comparisons between the two quarterbacks.
Raiola embraced the attention, even dressing like Mahomes before games, mimicking the Chiefs star’s signature style.
Mahomes, while flattered, admitted it made him feel “old” seeing someone imitate his moves. Reflecting on his own youth, Mahomes likened it to how he used to model his baseball game after Alex Rodriguez when he was younger.
The two quarterbacks have since spent time training together, with Mahomes likely sharing his wisdom to help guide the highly-touted freshman at Nebraska.
Now in his eighth NFL season, Mahomes is undoubtedly a veteran. His unique playstyle—highlighted by his signature side-arm throws and improvisation—has earned him two MVP awards, three Super Bowl appearances, and numerous All-Pro First Team selections.
It’s no wonder young quarterbacks like Raiola are eager to follow in his footsteps.
