Believe it or not, that’s not Patrick Mahomes in the picture.
For the last week, the Kansas City Chiefs have had fun on social media. Multiple players have changed their profile pictures to MVP and superstar Patrick Mahomes after a victory.
This time, Mahomes got in on the fun and fired back at another Chiefs member, but not the one most would think of.
Look closely at the photo and it’s clear that’s not Mahomes looking ever so dapper with that glorious mustache. Anyone who’s watched football over the past decade knows only one person could ever wear mouth fluff like that so well, their walrus persona sticks out strong.
In case you’re wondering who that is, it’s Chiefs head coach Andy Reid back in his playing days. Also, it’s back to when the hair on his head matched the wonder that is the whiskers over his lips.
The 1970s were a crazy time, right?
Kansas City is the gift that keeps on giving
Mecole Hardman started the trend last week by posting a photo of Mahomes’ high school days on Twitter. From there, the 2018 MVP trolled himself for taking a 30-yard sack that only seems to happen in Madden against the Miami Dolphins.
Tyreek Hill couldn’t be left out of the conversation as the jokester, so he commented on his own records. Mahomes made shorter people everywhere feel special with his comments on how Hill isn’t listed on the 5-foot-9 list of stars with scores all-time.
Hill has tallied 36 career touchdowns which would give him the lead over Bills superstar Cole Beasley.
What matters isn’t the trolling, but rather the camaraderie of players. It’s clear the Chiefs’ locker room is a tight-knit bunch that can laugh at their past and embraces the future. They don’t take themselves too seriously, which leads to stronger play on the field.
Mahomes trolling Reid is the perfect holiday gift for NFL fans. Now, all we need is a toupee photo to trend on Twitter on Throwback Thursday.
