Mahomes told AOL in 2019 that the hairstyle was the result of a friendly bet with a buddy when he was younger. They each grew out their hair and wanted to see who would go the longest before finally cutting it. “As I grew it out, I realized that I actually liked it a lot,” Mahomes told AOL Sports. “So, I kept it going.”

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs were battered by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX earlier this month.
