Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes received mixed reviews for the drastic new hairstyle he debuted just weeks after his Super Bowl loss

Patrick Mahomes has entered a new era following the Kansas City Chiefs defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl.The quarterback, 29, is embracing a brand-new look and has undergone a hair transformation while in the NFL offseason.

Mahomes told AOL in 2019 that the hairstyle was the result of a friendly bet with a buddy when he was younger. They each grew out their hair and wanted to see who would go the longest before finally cutting it. “As I grew it out, I realized that I actually liked it a lot,” Mahomes told AOL Sports. “So, I kept it going.”
