The comments quickly spread on social media and sparked debate. While fans mostly laughed it off, someone very close to Patrick Mahomes didn't take it lightly. The person who trains him every day stepped in to defend the star quarterback, and what he said caught everyone's attention.
What bdid Patrick Mahomes's trainer Bobby Stroupe responds on X after viral body comments
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:

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 fake post read, "Marriage is a big mistake when you get married to a stupid guy. You do not have to take responsibility for your husband's actions because men generally won't grow up. Better leave me TF alone. I'm so done already with y'all, bitc#es." About Nayanthara And Vignesh Shivan's Love Story Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan's love story began in 2015, on the sets of the film Naanum Rowdydhaan, which Vignesh directed, and it featured Nayanthara in the lead role.

While throwing the spear, I used to fall too much on my left side. I need to work on that. In training, I don't do that, but in competition, it happens because of the extra effort I put in. I have achieved the 90m-mark this year. But I need to be more consistent to achieve it more often. I am continuously throwing around 88-89m, but I need to be more consistent,' said Neeraj on the sidelines of a promotional event in Gurugram on Friday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Arvonnassa joululoma Berliiniin kahdelle Lue lisää Undo Neeraj was in India to compete at the inaugural edition of the NC Classic – the country's first-ever international javelin competition organised by Neeraj himself in association with JSW Sports – in Bengaluru late last week, which he won with a throw of 86.18m.
