It&#8217;s not just that Raiola looks like Mahomes, either, he&#8217;s now copying his pre-game rituals.<\/p>\n<p>Raiola wears the same over-the-top sunglasses every chance he can, wears No. 15 like Mahomes, and even has a nearly identical haircut to the Kansas City Chiefs&#8217; superstar, but claims that he\u00a0isn&#8217;t trying to imitate Mahomes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a kid I always wore glasses. I\u2019ve had this haircut since sixth, seventh grade maybe and I didn\u2019t really know about Mahomes then.
