Quarterbacks in the NFL come in various shapes and sizes, each with their unique strengths and physical attributes. From the towering and athletic Josh Allen to lower-body powerhouse Jalen Hurts, and even veterans like Kirk Cousins maintaining a ripped six-pack, the diversity among quarterbacks is evident.

Patrick Mahomes stands out as the most talented quarterback in today’s NFL, showcasing precision passing, the ability to make incredible throws by adjusting his arm angle, and using his legs to escape pressure and gain yards. Given his skill set, one might expect Mahomes to flaunt a chiseled chest and arms, but a recent clip from the Chiefs’ locker room after their AFC championship win over the Ravens has sparked some lighthearted teasing about Mahomes’ physique.

The video, shared by “Inside the NFL,” captured moments of celebration and discussion among the Chiefs after securing their spot in Super Bowl 58. The focus, however, shifted from the game to an unexpected aspect—Mahomes’ appearance, particularly his shirtless state.

The internet had a playful field day with the clip, humorously dubbing Mahomes as the epitome of the “peak male” body while also making some good-natured “dad bod” jokes.

In response to the playful banter, Mahomes demonstrated his sense of humor by posting on X, “Why they have to do me like that!?!?!?” He then jokingly blamed his kids for any perceived changes in his physique, showcasing his ability to take such comments in stride.

Regardless of the playful remarks about his appearance, Mahomes is undeniably a bonafide winner and is poised to potentially secure his third Super Bowl victory in just six seasons as a starting quarterback. Whether he has a six-pack, an eight-pack, or no pack at all, Mahomes’ on-field excellence remains the focal point, highlighting his elite status in the NFL.
