Dylan Raiola's Patrick Mahomes Impression Reached Unfathomable Levels Thursday Night in Arrowhead Stadium

Alright, someone has to do something because this whole bit is out of control. It was cute when Dylan Raiola first arrived at Nebraska and had his haircut look like Patrick Mahomes, but this is weird and off-putting now.

Instead of living out what should be an awesome life in its own right, Raiola spends his days cosplaying as a guy who has reached the pinnacle of what Raiola aspires to be — which is great if the mimicking is limited to on-field stuff that should help make you a better quarterback. Once you do the hair, sunglasses, jersey number, voice and mannerisms, though, it becomes a bit unsettling. And to then say God did this whole ordeal is just the most ridiculous thing anyone has ever said and Raiola should be shamed for doing so.

Sure, I would love to be as successful as Big Cat or PFT someday. But if I bought an El Camino and started showing up to work in a long wig and Jayden Daniels jersey expecting people to take me seriously and not think I'm a freak, that would be insane.

Nobody ever even really comments on Raiola's play because it's impossible to focus on anything other than this performance art he's doing. This kid was the No. 1 quarterback in the country a year ago and all the general public knows about him is that he spends his days trying to actually transform himself into another man.

Imagine the conversations that were going on among Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift in their suite last night. "Yeah, Nebraska's quarterback thinks he's me. He copies everything I've ever done and basically lives his life as a Sims character trying to be me. I'm scared of him, to be honest with you."

And then Mahomes left the game early, which is incredible and honestly has the power to be the beginning of a villain origin story for Raiola. Maybe he will have turned into Josh Allen by the time the Michigan game rolls around in a few weeks.

Just knock it off with the costume shit, dude. Worry about beating Northwestern.
