For about as long as Patrick Mahomes has had a career in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, sports fans have found a way to zero in on his walk. Yes, his walk. Apparently, it’s a big topic of conversation among Chiefs fans, who can’t get over the very specific way Patrick walks, either on or off the field, and how it is vastly different from the swagger that some of his teammates have.
In a post on Reddit, a user joked that Patrick’s walk “needs to be studied.” But this isn’t anything new to those who have watched the Chiefs quarterback for years. There have always been discussions on social media about how Patrick walks, why he swings his arms in such an intentional way, and how “sassy” he looks when he saunters on or off the field.
Sports fans are mocking Patrick Mahomes for the way he walks.

In the Reddit post, the user shared a clip of Patrick walking on the sidelines during what appears to be a preseason practice. The way he walks, as described by one of the other Redditors who commented on the post, makes it seem like he is perpetually walking slightly downhill. From a slight bend of Patrick’s back to the way his arms swing, you’d think he was physically up against some kind of decline when he walks.
“I’ve said this about his walk many times,” a user commented, about Patrick’s walk. “Even in the field when he walks to the huddle after a play. He’s dainty.”
To that, someone responded, “I wouldn’t call it dainty’ I’d call it fierce. Fierce like an American Idol contestant who just showed off by belting a high note backstage to intimidate another contestant.”
“Don’t forget the constant head tilt as if he doesn’t have the neck strength to hold it up on his own,” another user joked. “He’s so f–king toddler coded lmao.”
“Bro is babymaxxing lol,” someone else agreed.
People have been talking about Patrick Mahomes’ walk for a long time.
In 2018, not long after Patrick joined the Chiefs, a different Redditor made a post about Patrick’s specific walk. So even then, at the start of his career, sports fans had lots of thoughts about his gait. The user wrote that Patrick’s walk is “sassy,” which tracks with what Chiefs fans think about his walk in the present day too.
A user joked that Patrick’s arms are just “swinging,” and another added, “Haha I love that walk bro, he gets that sassy movement going when he’s pissed and about to drop dimes.”
Clearly, it has always been a thing.
Patrick Mahomes’ wife gets plenty of heat too.
Patrick isn’t the only member of his family who gets trolled by fans and haters alike. When his wife, Brittany Mahomes, announced her pregnancy with their fourth child, Redditors made light work of Patrick’s wife. One person said she has “professional breeder vibes,” while others joked that the family already has dozens of nannies, and now has another baby for one of the nannies to look after.
So, whether it’s adding to the family or walking in a way that is anything less than totally normal, the Mahomes family has haters ready to point it all out on social media.
