Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to be intensely interested in the development and success of prospects from Historically Black Colleges. He shared his thoughts on the annual showcase during his Super Bowl LIX media session, focusing on its impact.

For years, Mahomes has sported the same haircut featuring tapered sides with longer curls on top, a look he maintained from his Texas Tech days all the way through his Super Bowl-winning NFL career. However, new photos circulating on social media show that Patrick Mahomes has officially ditched his trademark style.

Patrick Mahomes will be “on a mission” to redeem himself after the Chiefs’ loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl 2025, according to Kansas City defensive end Charles Omenihu.

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.”

A little over a week since being blown out by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes has opted for a fresh new look. Mahomes, who kept his iconic mohawk hairstyle all throughout the 2024 season, switched things up with a shorter cut ahead of the NFL offseason.

Whether or not the new look is simply a result of growing weary of the mohawk or is part of a grander plan of a new era for Mahomes, the Chiefs’ shot-caller appears to be shedding his old skin and transforming into a new year. Stay tuned to see if Mahomes changes his mind and regrows his iconic hair or rocks his fresh look into the new season.

The Kansas City Chiefs laid an egg in Super Bowl 59, losing 40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles. Their star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, had one of the worst playoff performances in his career, getting sacked six times and throwing two first-half interceptions.

The Kansas City Chiefs have won much more than they have lost over the last three seasons. Still, quarterback Patrick Mahomes knows it is his responsibility to guide the team to success.

The Eagles were all over Mahomes and the Chiefs from the start. Hurts has been to two Super Bowls and won one. His other appearance was a loss to Mahomes and the Chiefs. Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes are the only two QBs to be drafted after 2012 to win a Super Bowl.
