It has become customary to body-shame Patrick Mahomes during the offseason. The star Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver is a family man and prefers to live a little when the NFL is on a break, but fans always want to see football’s poster child with abs poking out of his t-shirt.

Mahomes was at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Vegas, Nevada, with his family for this year’s edition of the 15 & Mahomies Charity Golf event over the weekend. Several pictures from the event found their way onto X, and immediately eagle-eyed fans pointed out that the three-time Super Bowl winner seemed puffier than usual.

Mahomes’ youngest son, Golden Raye, made his paparazzi debut on the tour, but nobody batted an eye because the only thing the fans focused on was Mahomes’ waistline.

Fans called out Patrick Mahomes for looking out of shape

It’s called the offseason for a reason. Players go through rigorous training and a diet routine when the NFL is in swing. Some athletes tend to ditch that way of living for the two or three months they spend with their family and friends.

It’s not possible for everyone to follow the TB12 diet week in and week out, especially for the offensive and defensive linemen who are advised to eat more portions.

Mahomes may not eat like his O-linemen, but that doesn’t mean he has to lay off the Texas BBQ even when he’s not watching tape every other day. Regardless, fans prefer to see their favorite athletes with a flat belly and a lot less like Tony Soprano.

Mahomes was body-shamed on social media last year after winning the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens. Later, footage from the Chiefs’ locker room revealed a half-naked Mahomes celebrating with his teammates. Fans were in disbelief that an athlete of Mahomes’ caliber looked more like a mall cop from the neighborhood than Michael Jordan.

Mahomes’ personal trainer, Bobby Stroupe, came to his client’s defense.

I’ll be the first to tell you that I think an NFL quarterback should have at least 14% body fat. It’s not from an unhealthy standpoint, but from a force absorption standpoint. You have to be able to take contact. We know there’s just not a lot of quarterbacks in the Hall of Fame that have a six-pack and there’s a reason for that.

Training camp for veteran Chiefs players doesn’t begin until the middle of July for the Chiefs. Mahomes has ample time to shed a few pounds like Travis Kelce and challenge for the Super Bowl once again.
