Life is pretty great when people think you’re Patrick Mahomes. Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola has more than just talent on his side—he looks strikingly similar to the Kansas City Chiefs superstar. He’s even adopted Mahomes’ signature No. 15 jersey and carries himself in a way that has fans doing double takes, wondering if Mahomes is secretly moonlighting on Saturdays.
This resemblance comes with some fun perks. After the Chiefs clinched the AFC Championship, Raiola was spotted in their locker room celebrating the victory. Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco shared a video from the euphoric scene, showing Raiola in the mix, while the real Mahomes could be seen laughing with teammates just out of view.
Raiola, who led Nebraska to a 7-6 record in his freshman season, has plenty of time to grow his game. While he’s working on his path to the NFL, his Mahomes-like appearance continues to turn heads. If he eventually makes it as a pro quarterback, the comparisons to Mahomes might shift from playful look-alike chatter to serious conversations about his own skills. Either way, his journey is bound to be a fun ride—and maybe a little surreal.
