NFL news: Patrick Mahomes reveals reason why he got viral haircut
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes made a bold change in his appearance earlier this year, opting to ditch his signature curly Mohawk for a more cropped style with a fade on the sides. His barber, DeJuan Bonds, believed that frustration might have played a role in the decision, but Mahomes revealed that superstition was the real reason behind his long-standing hairstyle.
During a recent media appearance, Mahomes explained that he had been wanting to switch up his look for a while but hesitated due to his winning streak. He didn’t want to mess with his hair while he was on a roll, especially after winning the Super Bowl. However, the quarterback decided that it was time for a change, regardless of the outcome on the field.
“I told everybody during the season that win or lose, if we win three in a row or if we lose, I’m getting a haircut like that’s enough. I’m very excited. I’ve looked at some videos from last year and I can’t believe all you guys let me keep that nappy hair for so long, like I look way better now with the short hair, so I’ll be keeping this going forward,” Mahomes said.
Reflecting on his journey to the NFL Draft, Mahomes shared that he was nervous on that day but felt grateful to have his family and friends by his side. Being selected as the 10th overall pick by the Chiefs was a dream come true for the young quarterback, and he cherished the moment with his loved ones.
As the Chiefs prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft, Mahomes is looking forward to seeing who they will select with the 31st overall pick after falling short of a Super Bowl threepeat. Despite the disappointment, Mahomes remains optimistic about the future and is excited to continue his journey with his new hairstyle.
