Patrick Mahomes Discusses How His “Dad Bod” Gives Him an Advantage Over Tom Brady
Patrick Mahomes embraces his dad bod as a key asset.
The three-time Super Bowl champ recently highlighted the benefits of his physique in a conversation with Tom Brady, stressing how his midsection contributes to his performance on the field.
“I utilize my hips and oblique muscles to generate power,” Patrick shared during an NFL on Fox interview before a game with Tom. “The dad bod serves a purpose—it’s all about those obliques. I’m working on them.”
Tom—who has a son Jack, 17, from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan, and two kids Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with former partner Gisele Bündchen—concurred with the 29-year-old.
“A little extra padding isn’t a bad thing,” Tom joked. “We take a lot of hits out there, and we can’t maintain that receiver physique all the time.”
Although Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady had a light-hearted exchange about their bodies, this isn’t the first time the Kansas City Chiefs star—who has children Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 22 months, with his pregnant wife Brittany Mahomes—has addressed comments regarding his appearance during the NFL off-season.
