Patrick Mahomes’ lookalike speaks out, adamantly denying he’s imitating Patrick Mahomes, but his recent actions… Chiefs fans are fed up and don’t even want to talk about this move of his.
Dylan Raiola For His Commitment To Refusing To Admit He’s Doing A Patrick Mahomes Impersonation
Well played, Dylan Raiola. I’m not sure what his original angle was. Maybe all of those one-for-one things about him that are identical to Patrick Mahomes just came about subconsciously. But however it happened, the guy is a D1 starting quarterback whose uncanny resemblance to the best quarterback in the NFL has got him a personal relationship with Patrick Mahomes. To the point that he was in the Chiefs locker room celebrating the AFC Championship.
It’s not Dylan Raiola’s fault that him and Mahomes have the same skin tone. The same face. Play the same position. Play on teams with the same color scheme. I’ll even give him the haircut. There was a stretch of time there where seemingly every Gen Z person in the world was getting that same broccoli ass fade. And I suppose if you have that haircut, then naturally you have to wear that exact headband underneath your helmet to go along with it. How else are you going to keep the hair and sweat out of your eyes? And it just so happens that both quarterbacks play football in similar parts of country. A part of the country that has what we call, “full-right sleeve, half-left sleeve, rubber bands on wrist weather”
Plus there’s only so many football numbers in the world. Inevitably there’s going to be at least a few quarterbacks wearing #15. And what, is Dylan Raiola just not allowed to wear cool giant sunglasses and have a nut duster on his chin?
But this is where I have to draw the “now you’re definitely doing this shit on purpose” line.
It’s the god damn jump. You can’t get mad at God for making you look like a guy, but you can’t blame God for doing that exact same pre-game crowd jump thing.
I admire Dylan Raiola’s commitment to going down (or potentially up) with the ship. At this point, I think his best course of action is to lean into the Patrick Mahomes thing even harder. He’s gotta get his younger brother Dayton OFF of the football field, and ON TO TikTok.
While he’s at it, maybe get himself a nice blonde, God-fearing girlfriend with wholesome family values. And how great would it be if after Nebraska’s game vs Cincinnati this weekend, if in his on-field interview he takes the mic and starts talking like Kermit The Frog. Only to say the next day, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ve always talked like this. I can’t get mad at God for giving me this voice.”
It’s worked for him up to this point. He’s got Patrick Mahomes number in his phone (I think). He’s making $3M to play college football. If you’re a quarterback, I can’t think of a better person to cosplay as. Might as well keep doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down until the magic runs out. Just never fully admit to it, Dylan. You are NOT Mini Mahomes. You are the ONLY Dylan Raiola.
