The Las Vegas Raiders recently had some fun at Patrick Mahomes’ expense during training camp at Jack Hammett Sports Complex in Costa Mesa, Calif.
On Thursday, a video of a Raiders player mocking Mahomes with a puppet went viral on social media. The clip showed Raiders rookie safety Trey Taylor wearing a Kermit the Frog hand puppet. The Kermit doll was wearing a Mahomes jersey and sported the Chiefs star’s curly hair.
“I’m a b—h,” Taylor appeared to say while moving the puppet’s mouth.
Taylor trying to make fun of Mahomes’ voice drew cheers from people in the background. (Note: the video contains profanity.)

Mahomes has been teased in the past for his high-pitched voice, which some believe sounds like Kermit.
While the Raiders as a team caught a lot of flak online for the video, it was reportedly a fan who brought the doll to training camp. The fan was the one who asked Taylor to wear the puppet. The fan also later uploaded the video to X and has since deleted the post.
The Chiefs play the Raiders on Oct. 27. Fans probably won’t be surprised if Mahomes comes out with guns blazing for that Week 8 contest.
