Sports people are obsessive by nature. Obsessed with honing their craft, obsessed with winning, obsessed with the offshoots and rewards that come about from success. Often obsessed with their role models too. That’s the case with Nebraska QB1, Dylan Raiola. A bonafide star in his own right, but someone in sheer reverence of the great Patrick Mahomes. Reverence that’s accentuated by their uncanny physical resemblance. As his doppelganger prepares to play in his 5th and arguably most important Super Bowl, Raiola extended his wishes.
Dylan Raiola was present at Arrowhead when the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game. He was in the Chiefs locker room when they won, looking like Mahomes had roped in a twin to celebrate alongside. The love between the two is reciprocal, albeit the scales aren’t exactly balanced. Continuing the lore of football’s best master and apprentice, Raiola took to IG to share a powerful message for a guy running down the proverbial GOAT status.
“Go get the job done today my guy” wrote Dylan Raiola, alongside a picture of the two from the aforementioned AFC championship celebrations. He doubled down with another IG story reposting a picture from the @chiefs handle with Patrick Mahomes front and centre. Raiola doesn’t shy away from his infatuation. But being obsessed often holds a negative connotation. He’s treading a fine line between reverence and potential repulsion.
