Some laughed. Others cringed. But <strong data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"753\">Mahomes? He didn\u2019t respond with words<\/strong>. He let his work speak.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"1161\">On Monday morning, Mahomes dropped a <strong data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"835\">30-second video<\/strong> on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) that set NFL Twitter ablaze. The clip? No edits. No hype music. Just Mahomes grinding through an early-morning workout: resistance sprints, off-balance throws, core training, footwork drills in the Kansas heat. Sweat pouring, eyes focused \u2014 all filmed from ground level with one caption:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1163\" data-end=\"1221\">\n<p data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1221\">\u201cThey said I had a dad bod. I just said\u2026 keep watching.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1523\">In less than three hours, the video racked up over <strong data-start=\"1274\" data-end=\"1293\">4 million views<\/strong>, with fans and fellow athletes flooding the comments in support. Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce reposted it with laughing emojis and the caption, \u201cPut some <em data-start=\"1448\" data-end=\"1457\">respect<\/em> on 15.\u201d Even LeBron James chimed in with: \u201cThat\u2019s MVP mode \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1815\">But for Mahomes, the moment is about more than clapping back \u2014 it\u2019s a masterclass in mindset. He didn\u2019t engage in the noise. He <strong data-start=\"1653\" data-end=\"1680\">turned insult into fuel<\/strong>, transforming criticism into content that inspired not only fans, but also everyday people facing body-shaming and toxic expectations.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1817\" data-end=\"1944\">\n<p data-start=\"1819\" data-end=\"1944\">\u201cNot everyone\u2019s built like a magazine cover,\u201d said one fan on X.<br data-start=\"1883\" data-end=\"1886\" \/>\u201cMahomes built different \u2014 in the only way that counts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"2256\">In an offseason filled with gossip and guesswork, Mahomes reminded everyone that <strong data-start=\"2027\" data-end=\"2060\">results come from the shadows<\/strong>, not the spotlight.<br data-start=\"2080\" data-end=\"2083\" \/>And as training camp nears, one thing\u2019s certain: the only \u201cdad bod\u201d people will be talking about in Kansas City this fall\u2026<br data-start=\"2205\" data-end=\"2208\" \/>Is the one <strong data-start=\"2219\" data-end=\"2255\">carrying a third Lombardi Trophy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udcf0 UPDATED NEWS: PATRICK MAHOMES Fires Back at \u201cDad Bod\u201d Criticism with Latest Workout Video In the age of viral soundbites and Twitter hot takes, Patrick Mahomes just reminded the sports world what true leadership \u2014 and quiet fire \u2014&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sp.znicely.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sp.znicely.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sp.znicely.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sp.znicely.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sp.znicely.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sp.znicely.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":137,"href":"https:\/\/sp.znicely.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136\/revisions\/137"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sp.znicely.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sp.znicely.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sp.znicely.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sp.znicely.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
