On Monday, July 8, 2025, Kansas City-based radio host Kevin Keitzman commented on Patrick Mahomes’s body after seeing his shirtless photos online. During his segment, he said Patrick Mahomes looked “fat” and focused on a small love handle seen in the photo. The segment from his radio show went viral immediately, with many saying the comments were ridiculous.Patrick Mahomes is an athlete 28 years old, and he’s led the Kansas City Chiefs to three Super Bowl titles, so he can be considered one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. Most fans shrugged off the statement, saying that Patrick Mahomes proves himself when he plays the game not when people see him.But Patrick Mahomes’s personal trainer, Bobby Stroupe, didn’t stay silent. He posted on X (formerly Twitter), writing:“Send me your location. You obviously need attention. If you want to see what in shape is, go make it through a practice at training camp or run hurry-up offense scrambling back to back to back plays. You don’t have a clue what it takes. It’s not a look, it’s performance.”The post was later deleted, but not before fans took screenshots and shared it widely.
