The post came as Patrick Mahomes addressed scrutiny over his dad bod. Back in January, a video showing him addressing his Kansas City Chiefs teammates following the AFC Championship win went viral because he had his shirt off.
Mahomes wondered why he had to be the focus of attention like that after leading the team back to the Super Bowl.
In an interview with Time, he was asked about the dad bod jokes.
"I definitely have the dad bod a little bit," he told the outlet. "I’ll also say I have a great body for a quarterback. You’ve got to have some padding in there to take the hits that we take."

When talking about how much longer he wanted to play for, he admitted he would have to get rid of the dad bod if he wanted to play through his 40s, following in Tom Brady’s footsteps.
At the end of the day, it is not about the pounds. It is about the wins, and Mahomes has enough already to be considered one of the greats to ever play in the NFL.
