Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola Sparks Memes After Dressing Like Patrick Mahomes in Photo

University of Nebraska freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola got the internet buzzing Wednesday by arriving at Cornhuskers training camp looking like the spitting image of Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Raiola had the entire Mahomes look down pat from the hair to the facial hair to even the sunglasses:

Mahomes himself even responded to the viral photo after his former wide receiver, Tyreek Hill, tagged him on X:

Naturally, that led to plenty of conversation on social media, including no shortage of memes and witty commentary:

Raiola has been quite forthcoming regarding his admiration for the three-time Super Bowl champion, three-time Super Bowl MVP and two-time NFL MVP.

Back in April, Raiola told Sam McKewon of Husker Extra that he intended to spend some time working out with Mahomes and Mahomes’ trainer Bobby Stroupe.

Regarding his desire to learn from Mahomes, Raiola said: “I just want to be around greatness. Obviously he’s going down as one of the greats already. But just trying to take it all in and elevate my game as much as I can.”

Expectations are sky high for Raiola entering his freshman campaign, as 247Sports rated him a 5-star prospect and the No. 7 overall recruit and No. 1 quarterback in the Class of 2024.

Raiola is being looked at as the potential savior of the Nebraska football program, as the Huskers have posted a losing record and failed to reach a bowl game in seven consecutive seasons.

If Raiola’s on-field play compares as well to Mahomes as his physical appearance, then 2024 could represent a huge bounce-back year for Nebraska.
