What happens when a rising star tries too hard to mimic a legend? Well, things can get messy. After the Chiefs’ nail-biting win over the Bills, a certain someone found their way into the Kansas City locker room, turning heads—and not in a good way. A little stunt, a lot of cringes, and fans are already sounding off with some wild reactions and calling out weird energy for trying too hard to be like Patrick Mahomes. Let’s just say the internet had no chill, and this one’s bound to leave you shaking your head. Curious? Oh, it gets better…

Dylan Raiola might wanna pump the brakes on the Mahomes cosplay. After the Chiefs edged out the Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship, Raiola was spotted in the locker room vibing and celebrating with the Chiefs squad. Cool, right? Nah, fans weren’t buying it and calling it ‘creepy vibes.’

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco caught it all on camera, even jokingly calling Raiola out with a “That ain’t Pat!” moment. And Twitter? Oh, they roasted him like a backyard BBQ. Folks are literally fed up with Raiola’s trying way too hard to be Mahomes 2.0, and the cringe levels hit max. Sure, Raiola’s been working with Mahomes in the past, but this locker room stunt? Let’s just say the internet ain’t letting that Dylan’s ‘Weird energy’ slide.

Let’s talk about Dylan Raiola and the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ 2024 season: well, it was just mid. Sure, they got a Pinstripe Bowl win—finally breaking the drought since 2015—but a 7-6 finish? Not exactly what all that preseason hype promised. And Dylan? The former 5-star QB threw for 2,819 yards, 13 tuddies, and 11 picks, rocking a 54th national QBR. Not very promising, right?

To be fair, his O-line was straight-up barbecue chicken, but still, Lincoln expected way better. Now, fans are praying for a 2025 glow-up, but today? Forget football. They’re too busy dragging Dylan for his Mahomes obsession. 

Here’s the tea: Dylan Raiola has apparently made it his life mission to become Patrick Mahomes’ clone. Same #15 jersey, same headband, same walk, same talk, even the same swagger attempts. The fans are calling it out. But let’s be real—he’s missing the most important thing: Mahomes’ game. The tipping point? That Isiah Pacheco’s locker room video after the Chiefs’ big win.

Isiah Pacheco playfully called him out, saying, “Hey, cuz, say what up to your people.” And Dylan stuttered out a cringy “Yo!” while looking very uneasy like he wanted to sink into the floor. Fans online? They tore him apart for being weird and trying way too hard to be something he’s not.

The fans on X smoke Dylan Raiola and call out his ‘creepy’ Mahomes obsession

When SportsCenter posted the clip of Isiah Pacheco’s locker room celebration with Dylan Raiola, fans on X didn’t hold back. Let’s just say the comments section was more brutal than Nebraska’s offense this season.

The fans started it with, “He’s one step from stalking Mahomes.” It’s no secret Dylan’s whole personality revolves around Mahomes at this point. It seems like he doesn’t have his own personality. He even looks the same but lacks Mahomes’ game. Patrick Mahomes is on his way to winning his 3rd straight Super Bowl; meanwhile, Dylan Raiola is still playing Joe from the ‘You’ Netflix series.

Another X user chimed in with, “And for what reason was he there?” A valid question. Why was Raiola in the locker room? He ain’t on the roster, didn’t throw a single pass in the game, and definitely wasn’t out there blocking for Pacheco. Fans can’t figure out why this guy was even in the building, let alone in the middle of the locker-room hype. If anything, he should be focusing on escaping the pocket when it’s under pressure.

This user called it, “This is kinda getting creepy now. It was funny at first. Now it’s just weird.” At first, Dylan’s antics were kind of lighthearted—a rookie QB looking up to the GOAT. But now? It’s starting to feel like the beginning of a Lifetime movie. There’s a limit to this stuff. And Dylan Raiola seems to cross that lane.

This one fan straight-up called out for Mahomes’ protection. “Pat needs a restraining order on this dude.” This one hit hard. Mahomes might need to start checking his surroundings because fans are low-key convinced Raiola’s next step is showing up uninvited to Thanksgiving dinner with the Mahomes family. The last fan tweeted, “So weird.” Sometimes less is more. This fan summed up the collective mood in two words.

Let’s be real: Dylan Raiola’s got talent—no one’s denying that. But all the Mahomes cosplay is making it harder to take him seriously. The kid needs to stop chasing someone else’s legacy and focus on carving out his own. The internet isn’t letting up, and unless Dylan starts backing up the hype on the field, he’s risking becoming a meme instead of a respected name in football. You can’t borrow someone else’s swagger—go make your own.
