NFL fans are losing their minds after a new video emerged of Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola once again perfectly mimicking Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes.
Dylan Raiola has made headlines over the last few weeks due to his resemblance and near-perfect impersonation of Patrick Mahomes. They have similar hairstyles, and Raiola also wears the No. 15 on a team whose primary colors are red.

If there’s one NFL player for any young quarterback to want to mimic, it should be Patrick Mahomes. He’s far-and-away the best player in football, with three Super Bowl championship rings, two league MVPs and a ridiculous 75-22-0 regular season record with 28,715 passing yards and 220 touchdowns.
Mahomes has led Kansas City to the AFC Championship Game in each of his six seasons as the starter, including four Super Bowl appearances. With three championships before his 29th birthday, it’s not a stretch to say that he could replace Tom Brady as he consensus GOAT.
It’s obviously too early to compare a 19-year-old quarterback to the league’s best player, but Raiola has nonetheless become a significant talking point around the football world. Love him or hate him, he sure knows how to present himself like Mahomes.
Dylan Raiola Has Lived Up To The Hype Early
The 19-year-old Raiola has been everything the Cornhuskers could have asked for in his first season as a starting quarterback. Over his first two games, Raiola has a 73.7 completion percentage for 423 yards three touchdowns and no interceptions.
Raiola made a statement last week when he led the Cornhuskers to a 28-10 blowout over the archrival Colorado Buffaloes.
