Patrick Mahomes has a good reason for keeping a dad bod, at least according to him.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has been heralded as the best in the game and a future GOAT. Up until last year, everyone thought he had the body of a God, too.

As it turns out, he does not. Mahomes doesn’t show any abs and actually has a bit of a paunch.

The star QB recently explained his reason for keeping his body the way that it is, telling seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady his oblique muscles are what’s important to him as he wants to be able to rotate them at an optimal level to throw passes.

“I use those hips and that oblique muscle to really rotate through there,” he said in quotes transcribed by E! News. “The people who have seen the dad bod, that’s for a reason — that’s the obliques. I’m getting them right.”

Patrick Mahomes Enjoying The Best Start Of His Career While Playing At A Lower Level Than Expected

Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes is enjoying the best start he’s ever had to a season, although he’s playing some of the worst football of his career from a statistical vantage point.

The Chiefs star leads the league in interceptions, completing 67.9 percent of his passes for 1,389 yards while getting sacked at a rate of 5.56 percent.

Even so, the defending champions boast a 6-0 record and remain the only unbeaten team in the NFL this season.

That he continues to keep them in winning positions with multiple receiver injuries and Travis Kelce’s dip in form is nothing short of amazing.
