“Humble King”: Fans React to Patrick Mahomes Hyping Dylan Raiola with “Lil Cuzzo” Remark

Dylan Raiola truly could not have had a more stellar start in his college football career. His debut game for Nebraska University against UTEP saw the QB throw for 238 yards and score two touchdowns, securing a 40–7 win- the team’s first successful season opener in five years. Raiola’s debut even impressed NFL star Patrick Mahomes.

Raiola’s stunning 59-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Neyor and Neyor’s remarkable catch above his shoulder in coverage stood out as he nearly stumbled at the 12-yard mark but regained balance to race into the end zone.

Even Mahomes couldn’t help but notice the young QB’s performance as he took to X to subtweet a video of the pass and referred to Raiola as “Lil Cuzzo.”

Fans took to the comments to urge the Chiefs QB to take Raiola under his wing:

A fourth fan pointed out how Raiola’s performance resembled Mahomes’ iconic style and suggested that the young chap could be on track to emulate the two-time MVP:

While a different fan jokingly wrote that Dylan can be day passed off as Mahome’s son- all thanks to the five-star recruit’s talent and of course, looks!

Raiola, the son of former Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola, has gained significant attention after arriving at training camp in Lincoln, Nebraska, on July 31, for his resemblance to the Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback.

His appearance, complete with curly hair and signature sunglasses has drawn the attention of the NFL world, including Mahomes himself, who has embraced the resemblance.

However, they’re not actually related at all despite their crazy resemblance that’s turning heads. Raiola not only looks like him but it seems the Huskers QB also has the capabilities to replicate the 28-year-old QB’s legacy.
