Patrick Mahomes has become the unlikely symbol of self-confidence for dads everywhere, but it seems he’s not exactly thrilled about it. Following the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the Baltimore Ravens, ‘Inside The NFL’ managed to capture the team’s post-game celebration in the locker room. Amidst the excitement, head coach Andy Reid fired up his players with a motivational speech, and it was in this moment that a shirtless Mahomes made his presence known. He shouted, “Great job today, but like I’ve been saying, we ain’t done yet!” While his words may not have been groundbreaking, what caught everyone’s attention was Mahomes’ physique.
Unlike the expectations of most NFL fans, Mahomes didn’t possess the chiseled body of a typical professional athlete. Instead, he sported what can only be described as a quintessential dad bod. As a 30-something-year-old dad who takes average care of his body and indulges in a few cold snacks, I can’t help but relate. Sure, Mahomes may be superior in his ability to throw a football, but at least we share a similar physique.
After the photo of his shirtless self went viral, Mahomes took to X (formerly Twitter) to jokingly address the situation. It’s reassuring to see that even one of the world’s greatest athletes can’t escape the realities of the dad bod. With two young kids and a wife to keep up with off the field, it’s understandable that his body may not be in peak condition, despite his impressive net worth of nearly $100 million.
In addition to his football prowess, Mahomes has also shown his sense of humor and relatability through his online presence. While he may have a master’s degree in journalism and online media from the University of Tennessee, I’ll leave it up to you to judge his expertise. When he’s not busy with work, you’ll likely find him on the golf course, enjoying his favorite pastime.
