Patrick Mahomes' Change in Physical Appearance Turns Heads on Saturday
Patrick Mahomes' Change in Physical Appearance Turns Heads on Saturday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Patrick Mahomes continues to establish himself as one of the top players in NFL history, having cemented an incredible legacy with the Kansas City Chiefs. Advertisement Last season, Mahomes led the Chiefs to their third straight Super Bowl appearance, having previously won in 2023 and 2024. They finished the season with a 17-3 record, defeating the Houston Texans and the Buffalo Bills. Kansas City won the AFC championship, their fifth conference title since Mahomes joined the franchise. Now, during the offseason, Mahomes is preparing to take the Chiefs on another Super Bowl run. On Saturday, while Patrick Mahomes and the rest of his teammates train in the offseason, a photo of the Chiefs quarterback surfaced with a change in his facial appearance. The fan who posted the photo of Mahomes mentioned that his goatee has connected. Before then, Mahomes was rocking a mustache and a short shaved beard. Upon the release of the post, some fans took to social media, sharing their thoughts on Patrick Mahomes' change in appearance during the offseason. Advertisement "Is he trying to be Jalen Hurts?" said one fan. "He's so hot," said another fan. "It's trying. it's trying," mentioned one fan. "I didn't notice," commented one fan. "So begins his villain arc," said one fan. "It only took him almost 10 years lol," said another fan.

Saquon Barkley's Madden Cover Sparks Malik Nabers Conversation
Saquon Barkley's Madden Cover Sparks Malik Nabers Conversation originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In the 15 months since running back Saquon Barkley left the New York Giants for the Philadelphia Eagles, the losses have continued to mount. Advertisement He quickly set the league ablaze with the help of an elite offensive line, trampling the Giants for 176 yards and a score in his return to East Rutherford. Barkley then joined the 2,000-yard club, had a historic playoff run, and ultimately won the Super Bowl. New York won three games. Oh, and he pulled off the most famous highlight of the season, reverse hurdling over Jacksonville Jaguars corner Jarrian Jones. That play landed him on the cover of Madden NFL 26, with the game recreating the jump heard around the (football) world. "When you get the call, you don't know what to expect, right? And they ask you, 'Do you want to be part of the Madden cover?' I don't know if anyone's turned that down," Barkley said Monday, via "I definitely wasn't gonna turn that down, the opportunity. I know so many people, so many kids that dream and would love to be in the position I am right now. I remember as a kid wanting to be part of the Madden cover. There have been so many players that have been part of the Madden cover. Now to be mentioned and have my name attached with those guys, words really can't describe it." Advertisement Barkley's Madden cover sparked Giants fans' imagination, too, as they wondered when their favorite team would return to EA Sports' spotlight. The obvious answer, of course, is receiver Malik Nabers. A 2024 first-round pick, Nabers entered the league with plenty of fanfare, then took the sport's biggest market by storm. It took him a month to prove himself worthy of elite consideration, logging two 100-yard games. Nabers is New York's best offensive player, a highlight machine, and incredibly marketable. With better quarterback play on the way, it's easy to see him going nuclear and forcing himself into that conversation in a year's time. Nabers would be the first Giants star to grace the cover since receiver Odell Beckham Jr., whose one-handed catch thrust him into a different stratosphere of fame. An LSU product with unlimited athleticism and the production to match, he shares a similar story to Nabers. The New York faithful hope their newest offensive phenom (or his rookie quarterback) can reach those same heights. Advertisement For now, they'll have to see Barkley on the cover each time they log on. "I'm grateful to my teammates, coaches, and Eagles fans for their support," Barkley said in a statement. "And I can't wait to hit the field again to give Madden players more highlight-reel moments in Madden NFL 26."
