Dylan Raiola takes some smoke from Patrick Mahomes after Nebraska football loss

If the loss to Illnois wasn’t bad enough for the Nebraska football team, the Huskers’ starting quarterback took a bit of smoke from a future Hall-of-Famer he clearly idolizes after the loss. 

While the Cornhuskers suffered some injuries added to the unsult of yet another overtime loss at Memorial Stadium, Dylan Raiola took some insults to add to the injury of his first collegiate loss.

Not long after the Nebraska football game ended with Raiola being sacked multiple times in the extra period, it appears that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took to social media to add a little burn to the mix.

“Aight,” Mahomes wrote on Twitter “The dude can stop acting like me now.” He included the eyeball emoji, apparently as a way to show he watched the game. 

Nebraska football quarterback takes heat from his idol

To Mahomes’ credit, he did delete the post. And according to those who saw it, he deleted it rather quickly. Clearly he had a funny comment he thought was worth sharing and then almost immediately realized how it would come off.

But the internet is forever and you need to be a lot quicker than your followers. Especially when you post something rather incendiary. Eagle eyed Twitter users were quick to jump on the post and screenshot. Much to the chagrin of Mahomes and Raiola both, most likely.

The post was another in what has been a string the last two weeks of calling out the Nebraska quarterback for harmless behavior. Many people have pointed out that he tends to have several mannerisms that either evoke Mahomes or outright copy him. 

There’s been quite a bit of “concern trolling” over the last few weeks with people claiming that Raiola “has” to stop acting like Mahomes before and after Husker games. Some have even pretended as though it illustrated he had some kind of problem and that his teammates and coaches should be worried about him.

While those posts, dragging a 19-year-old freshman were largely dismissed by most as nonsense, Mahomes himself posting stuff like this doesn’t help the Nebraska football star get past the issue.
