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.”

In the latest edition of Inside the NFL, we saw as Mahomes made his way along the sidelines. He went to Isiah Pacheco and said, “I love you, brother. We’ll be back.” Then, he immediately turned to Kelce with a somewhat different message.
