Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco wanted to make sure it was clear to everyone streaming the team’s AFC Championship celebrations – there were not two Patrick Mahomes’ in the locker room.
Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola invaded the Chiefs locker room for the last Arrowhead party of the season, standing in close quarters with his three-time Super Bowl MVP doppelganger.
Raiola and Mahomes have been compared due to their looks and playing styles in the past. They also share a personal quarterback coach in Jeff Christensen.
Any time they can be in the same room at the same time, the comparisons and ribbing are abound by Mahomes’ Kansas City teammates.
Pacheco brought Raiola over to his locker-room live stream to remove any doubt, as if anyone could ever be confused for the best quarterback of this generation.
‘Say “What up” to the people!’ Pacheco said while panning the camera to Raiola. ‘That ain’t Pat y’all!’

Pacheco then quickly found Mahomes in the locker room laughing at the comparison.

Raiola was one of the top national prospects in college football last year and was the starter for Nebraska last season.
Raiola originally committed to Georgia in high school but flipped to Nebraska and has seen the field without being in the same quarterback room as Carson Beck.
Cornhuskers linebacker Dawson Merritt was also at the game while his dad, Dennis Merritt, is an ᴀssistant coach on the Chiefs.
Raiola has a name, image, and likeness value of around $2million, per On3.
The Chiefs will play in their third consecutive Super Bowl in two weeks against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Raiola, who led Nebraska to a bowl game for the first time since 2016 last season, is expected to be one of the best quarterbacks in the Big Ten this fall.
