Patrick Mahomes Talks About His ‘Dad Bod’ Physique With Tom Brady Weighing In

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 29, is putting all the cards on the table… or maybe just on his belly. In a pre-game interview with Fox Sports ahead of the Chiefs-49ers showdown on Sunday (October 20), Mahomes addressed something weโ€™ve all been thinking about โ€“ that โ€œdad bodโ€ physique of his.

And spoiler alert: Heโ€™s leaning into it harder than he leans into a game-winning pass.

> โ€œI use those hips and that oblique muscle to really rotate through there,โ€ Mahomes explained, giving us a sneak peek into his secret weapon โ€“ a pelvic thrust that could rival Shakiraโ€™s dance moves.

When an analyst praised his ability to throw the ball mid-run, Mahomes was quick to defend his figure:

> โ€œThe people calling it a dad bod? Thatโ€™s not by accident โ€” thatโ€™s the obliques, baby. Iโ€™m working on these curves intentionally.โ€

Translation: If you think heโ€™s just sitting around eating nachos, think again. His “dad bod” is custom-built for touchdowns and TikTok thirst traps.

But wait, thereโ€™s more! Tom Brady, the quarterback-turned-retired-beach-guy and man with exactly two facial expressions, decided to chime in, too.

> โ€œWeโ€™ve gotta keep a little padding,โ€ Brady said, chuckling like a guy who knows his way around a post-game pizza. โ€œWe get hit a lot, man. People donโ€™t get that we canโ€™t always look like those scrawny receivers.โ€

Thatโ€™s right. Tom said it loud and proud: Leave the six-packs for the wide receivers. When youโ€™re taking hits from human freight trains every Sunday, you need insurance โ€” and that insurance comes in the form of a little jiggle.

Mahomes’ trainer, Bobby Stroupe, weighed in on the topic too, and letโ€™s just say his hot take was… surprisingly science-y.

> โ€œLook, an NFL quarterback should have at least 14% body fat,โ€ Stroupe told People. โ€œNot because itโ€™s unhealthy, but because itโ€™s like having a built-in airbag. Youโ€™ve got to be able to absorb those hits.โ€

In other words, Mahomes isnโ€™t just carrying a couple of extra pounds for fun โ€” heโ€™s carrying them for survival.

Stroupe went on to spill the beans about quarterback physiques in general:

> โ€œYou wonโ€™t see many quarterbacks with six-packs in the Hall of Fame. Thereโ€™s a reason for that,โ€ Stroupe declared, probably while giving Mahomes a high-five between reps. โ€œAesthetics are a different conversation. I donโ€™t need him looking like a runway model โ€“ I need him looking like a bulldozer in cleats.โ€

So, next time you catch Mahomes in a post-game presser looking less like a fitness influencer and more like a guy who absolutely knows the best wings spot in Kansas City, remember: That โ€œdad bodโ€ is an athletic masterpiece in disguise.

Now if only dad bods came with Super Bowl rings for the rest of us.
