Patrick Mahomes issued an ominous warning to the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday after they mocked the quarterback with a Kermit the Frog doll.
On Thursday, a Raiders fan handed a Kermit the Frog doll to Trey Taylor at training camp and the defensive back proceeded to parade the Muppets character around.
The Kermit doll was dressed in Mahomes’ jersey, and even sported a head of brown curly locks resembling the star quarterback’s hair.
In a viral clip, Taylor held the puppet up to the camera and moved its mouth, saying ‘I’m Patrick,’ in a high-pitched voice.
The three-time Super Bowl winner’s voice has long been compared to the iconic TV character, who speaks in a raspy tone.

Mahomes was asked about the video after Chiefs practice on Friday and remained coy on the subject but did issue a warning to the players.
He said: ‘It’ll get handled when it gets handled.’
Being a divisional rival, the Chiefs will play the Raiders twice next season: on October 27 and November 29.
Before Mahomes had publicly addressed the diss, his personal trainer, Bobby Stroupe, shared a threatening three-word response on X.
‘We will remember,’ he tweeted.
The 28-year-old has been asked about comparisons to Kermit throughout his career, and was even asked to do an impression before the Super Bowl in February.
‘I’m talking right now, that’s it,’ Mahomes said in a press conference.
He previously told reporters that ‘people have been making fun of’ him his entire life.
‘I’ve gotten used to it, it’s like the joke that keeps giving. I’ve heard it all, jokes about Kermit the Frog or about smoking cigarettes,’ he said.
‘It’s unique, so maybe I’ll get a deal from having that unique voice.’
