Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce gave fans a good laugh on Friday with a playful exchange about their appearances from college days. The Big 12 Conference shared throwback headshots of Mahomes and Kelce ahead of a matchup between their alma maters, Texas Tech and Cincinnati.

Both players looked notably younger and sported different hairstyles than what fans are used to seeing now. Mahomes, quick to comment on the post, couldn’t help but acknowledge their old looks. Kelce, responding in kind, joked about his appearance, saying, “I left that look back in Cincinnati for good reason,” referring to his long hair and goatee from his college days at Cincinnati.

The fun interaction came ahead of the game between the Texas Tech Red Raiders and Cincinnati Bearcats, reviving memories of their college football years before they became NFL superstars. Fans were delighted by the lighthearted banter between the two, showing the camaraderie and sense of humor that has made them such a dynamic duo both on and off the field.

With three Super Bowl titles under their belts, it’s clear that despite the jokes about their looks, Mahomes and Kelce are two of the best at what they do in the NFL. Fans are excited to see what else this duo will accomplish in the upcoming season!
