Stop: Dylan Raiola cosplaying as Patrick Mahomes is getting weird

Every young athlete models their game after someone who’s come before them. In Dylan Raiola’s case, his idol is Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. But instead of modeling his game after the KC QB, he’s completely embodied Mahomes, and honestly, it’s getting weird.

Raiola and Mahomes have worked out together before and after the true freshman Nebraska QB had a strong debut, Mahomes Tweeted this out — leading to speculation that the two are actually related.

This cosign from Mahomes has only emboldened Dylan Raiola.

Now, he’s dressing up like Mahomes and even doing the same pre-game routine as the Chiefs quarterback.

It’s totally fine to like Mahomes and model your game after him. But this is strange behavior. I’ve never seen a player try this hard to be like another athlete. If I were Mahomes, I’d be weirded out by it too.

The best athletes want to be their own commodity — not ride off the coattails of someone else. Please stop doing this, Dylan, it’s very weird!
