The Nebraska quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a twin, and the internet is going crazy.

Everything about Patrick Mahomes is in the news, and no wonder, because the three-time Super Bowl winner is the biggest star in the NFL today. That’s why, when the news comes out that there is someone almost identical to him, the images spread like wildfire through the social networks.

Dylan Raiola, the Nebraska quarterback, has recently sparked considerable excitement among fans due to his striking resemblance to NFL superstar Mahomes. As the Cornhuskers prepared for fall camp, the team’s official Instagram account shared photos of the players, and Raiola’s image stood out, drawing immediate comparisons to the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback.

Even Mahomes himself responded to his former teammate, Tyrek Hill, who tweeted about Nebraska soccer. In an amused tone, Mahomes commented, “That’s my lil cuzzo,” which is Italian for cousin or very close friend.

Fans flooded the comments section with remarks highlighting their similarities, with one user jokingly stating, “You can’t tell me Dylan isn’t Patrick Mahomes.” This buzz around Raiola is not just about looks; it reflects the hope he brings to a Nebraska football program that has struggled with consistent quarterback play in recent years.

The five-star recruit is viewed as a potential game-changer, capable of revitalizing the team’s fortunes. His commitment to Nebraska is particularly significant, as the program has not participated in a bowl game since 2016. This long drought has left fans yearning for a return to competitiveness, and Raiola’s elite talent provides a glimmer of hope.

Coach Matt Rhule has emphasized the importance of preparation for Raiola if he aspires to claim the starting quarterback position. Rhule stated: “Our job is not to get anybody ready to play. Our job is to give them opportunities. They have to get themselves ready to play.” This statement underscores the challenge ahead for Raiola, who must not only live up to the hype but also navigate the pressures of being a highly touted recruit.

ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit noted Raiola’s impressive background, mentioning that he was once verbally committed to Georgia and could have chosen any number of top programs. His decision to commit to Nebraska speaks volumes about his dedication and belief in the program’s potential under Rhule.
