Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola has not shied away from comparisons to Patrick Mahomes. He wears the same jersey number and has a similar haircut while still trying to become an exciting playmaker on the field. On Sunday night, after Kansas City’s victory over Buffalo, Raiola found himself in the Chiefs’ happy locker room:
"That ain't Pat." 😂

The video, taken and posted by Kansas City running back Isiah Pacheco, shows Raiola casually hanging out with Chiefs’ players. The collegiate quarterback is no stranger to celebrity encounters, which recently included a photo with ex-NFL RB Leonard Fournette and being brought on stage at a Zach Bryan concert.
Raiola enjoyed a successful, yet unspectacular, true freshman season with the Cornhuskers. Yet his fame and legend continue to grow. If he doesn’t take a significant step forward on the field in 2025 will his shine begin to diminish? Plenty of eyes will be on Lincoln this season to see how his game progresses.
