Patrick Mahomes was caught off guard when he checked social media Wednesday to find a ruthless wave of jokes about his body. Inside the NFL had published a shirtless locker room video of Mahomes giving the Kansas City Chiefs an AFC Championship victory speech, but fans were only focused on one thing.

 

Mahomes got body shamed on social media

Fans on social media ran with the jokes, comparing his rotund figure to Mac Jones, Jason Kelce, Luka Doncic and even Miguel Cabrera.

“Aint no way Bro built like a mini fridge and tearing teams up,” joked a comment on Instagram.

“He’s on that Andy Reid meal plan,” said another.

“Pat’s a lil thick and that’s okay!” a nicer fan commented in defense of the two-time Super Bowl champion.

Mahomes responds to the haters

The 2-time MVP took the humor well. He went to Twitter/X to address his critics, blaming his children Bronze and Sterling for his fatherly figure and calling out Inside the NFL for posting the revealing video.

“Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!? #DadBodSZN,” he tweeted.

Meanwhile, many fans found inspiration in the man who dominates the NFL when he can’t even defeat his late night cravings.

“Sheesh. He got a Dad bod while whipping the league ass and collecting championships,” a popular comment on Instagram said.
