The 19-year-old arrived at the Nebraska facility with a goatee and a haircut nearly identical to the styles Mahomes typically sports.
To top it off, Raiola even had a pair of sunglasses eerily similar to the ones Mahomes had previously worn.
Mahomes’ former Kansas City Chiefs teammate Tyreek Hill made a point of pointing out the similarities.
“Boy, no way @PatrickMahomes,” Hill he saidretweeting Raiola’s photo.

“That’s my little asshole,” commented Mahomes.
Raiola’s viral photo continued to draw attention on X after ESPN Adam Schefter also shared again.
“Five-star QB Dylan Raiola came into Nebraska camp looking like Patrick Mahomes,” he said.
“Why does he look more like Patrick Mahomes than Patrick Mahomes?” one fan asked.

“Because he’s the next Patrick Mahomes,” suggested a second.
“They are twins,” added another.
While a fourth responded: “Kid knows how to go viral.”
It turns out that the comparisons between Raiola and Mahomes don’t stop there.
In December 2023, Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule discussed the now-freshman star in an appearance on Zach Gelb Show.
“You can tell he uses 15 (Mahomes’ number). He very much follows Patrick Mahomes’ style of play,” Rhule said.
“While there is only one Patrick Mahomes, Dylan certainly worked to make all the throws off the platform.”
In fact, Mahomes and Raiola even planned to train together after the first semester, via Em3.
Raiola is the son of former Detroit Lions forward Dominic.
A second-round draft pick out of Nebraska in 2001, he spent 13 years in Detroit making 219 appearances.
Dominic’s former teammate and current Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is Dylan’s godfather.
Dylan’s first chance at college football will come on August 31 when they host UTEP.
