A king : Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes jokingly addresses body shaming, vows to switch up wardrobe
Patrick Mahomes has opened up about being “surprised” by body-shaming trolls after images from his return to Kansas City Chiefs training sparked unwarranted comments.
The three-time Super Bowl champ was back at the team’s voluntary OTA session on Wednesday at the Truman Sports Complex, with a majority of his teammates in attendance, though tight end Travis Kelce was notably absent.
A tweet from the Chiefs’ official account captured Mahomes walking into training, ready to gear up for the 2024 season. But online critics were quick to label him as sporting a “dadbod”, a claim Mahomes later laughed off on “The Pat McAfee Show” as a result of “holding my shirt in”.
While chatting with McAfee, Mahomes joked that he’ll opt for baggier t-shirts in the future and quipped: “I guess people still haven’t realized that I don’t have abs. So I’ll continue to work on that.”
Mahomes also touched on various topics during the interview, including life at Arrowhead Stadium and even dished on playing matchmaker for Kelce and Taylor Swift, claiming a slice of credit for the romance between Kelce and the pop icon.
He reminisced about the fateful concert in Kansas City, saying: “I like to take some of the credit. I was the one who invited Travis to the first Taylor concert when the friendship bracelet [idea came up]. He was sitting in my suite, so I feel like I was the matchmaker.”
