Lincoln, Nebraska – Five star Nebraska Cornhuskers starting quarterback Dylan Raiola was in the news Monday morning, and not for his on-the-field accomplishments: genetic tests have confirmed that he is the biological son of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
“Those who have noticed an uncanny resemblance between Dylan and Mahomes weren’t imagining things,” said 23andMe head of genetics Adam Auton via Zoom.
“Same number, same height, approximately same weight, same general demeanor, same cannon for an arm. Like father, like son,” continued Auton.
When asked how such a result was even possible, Auton said he was as surprised as anyone.
“We’re not 100% sure, honestly. I can’t tell you how we got here, all I can tell you is what the science says. Either way, there’s some explaining that needs to be done in the Mahomes and Raiola households this morning,” concluded Auton.
