Patrick Mahomes once again led the Kansas City Chiefs to the Super Bowl, but the two-time MVP quarterback is going viral for a completely different reason.
Following the Chiefs' AFC conference championship victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, Mahomes followed head coach Andy Reid with a celebratory locker room hype speech, echoing Reid's chant that the team "ain't done yet."
You can watch below.
And while this passionate pep talk was undoubtedly meant to fire up the guys, a still image of the QB addressing the team had a different effect.
A screenshot of Mahomes, from perhaps not the best angle, went viral on social media, with focus on the star athlete's "dad bod."
Note to NFL organizations: if you want a franchise quarterback, make sure he has a dad bod.— (@)
Thankfully, Mahomes had a sense of humor about it all and hilariously responded to all the dad bod bashing.
He first tweeted:
"Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣"
He concluded the tweet with the hashtag #DadBodSZN.
Immediately after, he reminded the twitterverse that he is, in fact, a dad.
"Like I got kids!!!!"
Viewers got a chuckle out of his reaction.
Others mentioned that, regardless of what others are saying about him, the two-time Super Bowl champ's performance speaks for itself.
@nypost Well he is a Dad, more importantly he is possibly the Greatest QB to play Football and some people hate him for it. Don\u2019t hate Greatness, Strive for it.— (@)
Mahomes will be returning for his fourth Super Bowl in just five years—a more than impressive achievement—on Sunday, February 11 in Las Vegas.
