“It’s cool, honestly,” Mahomes said in a news conference before Week 1. “I was that guy. … I loved Alex Rodriguez, played shortstop, and would try to make plays just like him. I know Dylan, I trained with him in the offseason. He’s a great kid, a great football player, and I think he’s going to make his stamp on the game and I think you’ve seen that early in his career.”

Raiola won’t join Mahomes in the NFL until the 2027 season at the earliest.
