Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola looks eerily similar to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Dayton Raiola also bears a resemblance to Jackson Mahomes.
It is not a perfect match, and the comparison has nothing to do with either of their behaviors, but the two little brothers share an undeniable likeness.
Dylan is currently 3-1 as the starting quarterback at Nebraska during his true freshman season. The former five-star, No. 1 overall recruit completed 72.2% of his passes for 967 yards and eight touchdowns with two interceptions during wins over UTEP, Colorado and Northern Iowa and a loss to Illinois in overtime. There are going to be some growing pains but he is living up to the hype thus far.
The Cornhuskers are officially back and their quarterback is the primary catalyst.

His teammates love him.
Despite the loss Friday, the raw emotion Dylan Raiola plays with is special to see. Kid soaks up the moment and is always lifting up his teammates.

There is only one thing about Dylan Raiola that is a little bit weird. He looks and acts exactly like the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. They’re practically identical in every single way, including their arm sleeves and jersey numbers.
To try and emulate Patrick Mahomes is one thing. It is completely normal, if not admirable for an elite athlete to want to be just like the best player in his sport.
However, Dylan made it weird during the preseason by trying to say that the copycat behavior and style is not on purpose because he wasn’t aware of Patrick growing up. There’s just no way it is a coincidence.
What is a coincidence is the similarities between Dylan’s little brother, Dayton, and Patrick’s little brother, Jackson.
Dayton Raiola looks like Jackson Mahomes!
Dayton is currently ranked as a three-star prospect in the college football recruiting Class of 2026. He committed to play for Nebraska over the weekend like his brother and his father.
Just like Dylan looks like Patrick, Dayton looks similar to Jackson.
Don’t just take it from me!
Give ‘Dayton Raiola’ a quick search on Google if you are still on the fence. There are countless photos (that I cannot use without permission) of the future Cornhuskers quarterback that share a similitude to the younger brother of Patrick Mahomes.
Jackson is considered by man (especially Swifties) to be a controversial figure. The manner in which he carries himself is questionable, to put it lightly. Dayton is nothing like Jackson in how he acts!
They just so happen to look alike when their big brothers are practically indistinguishable.
