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

Buy Me A Coffee

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.
