Patrick Mahomes On Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola Comparisons: “It’s Just Telling Me I’m Getting A Little Old”

Nebraska Cornhuskers quarterback Dylan Raiola is trying to make a name for himself - while looking exactly like NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes. Nebraska has started their season out with two straight wins, obliterating UTEP 40 to 7 in their season opener and embarrassing Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes 28 to 10. The Cornhusker defense has been solid, and so has their freshman quarterback Patrick Mahomes Dylan Raiola. Raiola was highly touted five star recruit that just got to Nebraska this offseason, and he’s the son of longtime NFL center Dominic Raiola. It appears that football runs in the family… and a side effect of that may be looking like an already existing NFL star. If you think I'm exaggerating when I say that Raiola does everything exactly like Mahomes, just look at this video and you should understand: https://twitter.com/CFBONFOX/status/1833551007114268971 Seeing double. Patrick Mahomes was asked about Raiola's Mahomes-esque tendencies, and the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback didn't have a problem at all with it. In fact, he found it flattering, as he explained in a recent press conference: "It's cool, honestly. I was that guy. I grew up watching players. When I was growing up, I loved Alex Rodriguez. I played short stop and I'd try to make plays just like him and stuff like that. It helped me become the athlete that I am. It's just telling me I'm getting a little old. That's the biggest thing is that you've got these guys that are coming up and doing some of the side arm stuff. But I know Dylan. I trained with him in the offseason. He's a great kid, a great football player, and I think he's going to make his own stamp on the game." https://twitter.com/JaredKCTV5/status/1833917933342658999?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1833917933342658999%7Ctwgr%5Eb6bb027d344a3d4bb83eb21883416f018f3c41ef%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbrobible.com%2Fsports%2Farticle%2Fpatrick-mahomes-dylan-raiola-dressing%2F Raiola might make his own stamp on the game - but it's going to be while everyone points and says, "That guy is trying to be Patrick Mahomes." Maybe at some point, the Cornhusker QB will change things up. For now though, he's doing his best Mahomes impersonation on and off the field, and as long as he and his team keep winning (like Mahomes and the Chiefs), I guess he can keep doing it.
