Patrick Mahomes embarrassed as Chiefs QB’s shirtless "dad-bod" picture goes viral
Patrick Mahomes may well be the greatest quarterback on the planet, but a recent picture proves that one doesn't have to have six-pack abs and bursting muscles to be that. A viral photo from his AFC Championship celebration went viral, and by Mahomes' own admission, it's not entirely flattering.
In the picture, a shirtless Mahomes is seen in the locker room speaking to his team after a massive victory. The quarterback was a little embarrassed with the way he looked in the picture that the world has now seen.
Mahomes tweeted on X, formerly known as Twitter:
"Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!? #DadBodSZN"
Mahomes has been almost unstoppable in the playoffs. He has been sacked twice all postseason and has not turned the ball over once as he's taken an undermanned Kansas City Chiefs offense to the precipice of a repeat title.
They defeated the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens in a thrilling three-game run that has them in the Super Bowl with a chance to become the first team to go back-to-back in quite some time, so the shape Mahomes appears to be in is clearly not impacting his play.
Patrick Mahomes in elite form ahead of Super Bowl
All season long, it has felt like the San Francisco 49ers were the NFC's team of destiny. Despite a brief lull, they looked unbeatable at times. They dismantled the NFC's best opposition frequently and dispatched opponents in the playoffs despite not playing their best game.
All season long, it has also felt like the Kansas City Chiefs were experiencing a bit of Super Bowl hangover and that this was finally the year an AFC squad had their shot at making it out.
Yet, these two teams still stand. Patrick Mahomes, in exceptional form right now, will face one final test in his quest for a third Super Bowl.
