Patrick Mahomes (Photo via @Chiefs/Twitter)Patrick Mahomes has never been a man who has had a chiseled body, but he still manages to get the job done.
The Kansas City Chiefs started their training camp at Missouri Western State University on Tuesday with rookies and quarterbacks reporting.
The Chiefs quarterback could be seen walking his way in as cameras panned in on him. It was hard not to notice how big he looked, even in his loose-fitting red t-shirt.

Entering his eighth training camp with the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes is no stranger to the grueling offseason schedule.
The team is coming off a second-consecutive Super Bowl victory, and Mahomes is coming off getting his wife, Brittany Mahomes, pregnant with their third child.
The best way for him to lose some of those pounds is to put on pads and run in intense heat before the start of the season.
Last season, Patrick Mahomes finished with 4,183 passing yards and 27 touchdowns, which were somehow his lowest in both categories since 2019, as well as 14 interceptions, a career-high, per ESPN.
Even with a down year, the Chiefs won it all.
Patrick Mahomes And Coors Light Dropped ‘Dad Bod’ T-Shirts
Earlier this year, Patrick Mahomes encouraged others to embrace their “Dad Bods” with new T-shirts he created in partnership with Coors Light.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback embraced his body after the internet previously talked about his physique, so he leaned into the jokes by teaming with Coors Light to create a number of graphic T-shirts, including one that reads “Dad Bod” across the chest.
He even modeled the shirt for the campaign picture.
The collection also features a “Here’s My Six Pack” tee, which features a case of beer instead of abs.
The shirt is still available retail for $25 at CoorsLight.com.
NFC Team Shakes Up The Playoff Race By Landing Titans Superstar WR DeAndre Hopkins In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

If the Tennessee Titans play their cards right, they’ll avoid making the same mistake the Arizona Cardinals did with star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins a year ago.
The Cardinals held onto DeAndre Hopkins for far too long and failed to trade him while his value was at its highest. After failing to receive a trade offer for their liking, Arizona released him in the 2023 offseason and took on $22.6 million in dead money, as noted by ESPN‘s Josh Weinfuss.
Tennessee stunned the football world last year by signing “Nuk” to a two-year deal worth $26 million in the summer. Hopkins was one of the few positives on a disappointing Titans team last year, finishing with 75 receptions for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns.
But the Titans are rebuilding, and the 32-year-old Hopkins is unlikely to stay in Music City beyond 2024. The Titans’ best bet is to move the five-time Pro Bowler some time between now and the 2024 trade deadline, rather than lose Hopkins for nothing.
DeAndre Hopkins makes sense for just about any playoff hopeful, but the Derek Carr-led New Orleans Saints especially stand out as a logical landing spot for the veteran wideout.
