Patrick Mahomes’ trainer is once again going after one of the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback’s critics.
Mahomes was photographed celebrating the Fourth of July holiday on a boat. Some, including KCMO radio host Kevin Keitzman, felt the quarterback was looking a bit chubby.

According to TMZ, Keitzman referred to Mahomes as “fat” and an “embarrassment” on his podcast Monday. That did not sit well with the quarterback’s longtime trainer, Bobby Stroupe.
In a set of now-deleted X posts, Stroupe challenged Keitzman to take part in Mahomes’ workout routine, and said Keitzman has no clue about the quarterback’s training regimen.
“You don’t have a clue what it takes. It’s not a look, it’s performance,” Stroupe wrote.

Mahomes’ trainer is not shy about calling out the quarterback’s critics. The Chiefs star certainly has a body of work that speaks for itself, but Stroupe is not going to let the remarks pass unchallenged. That said, if Keitzman is just looking for attention, Stroupe fell right into the trap of giving it to him by responding.
Mahomes will definitely look somewhat different this year, but nobody seems legitimately concerned about his weight.
