Patrick Mahomes isn’t just a superstar on the football field; he’s also a proud dog dad to two pit bulls, Steel and Silver, who have captivated a massive fanbase all their own.

These two lovable dogs aren’t just any pets—they’re Instagram icons, delighting over 200,000 followers with their playful personalities, charming outfits, and undeniable love for their dad’s Kansas City Chiefs. If you’re a fan of Patrick Mahomes or just a dog lover, Steel and Silver are the social media stars worth following!

Steel and Silver have a wardrobe that would make any Chiefs fan envious, often sporting Kansas City gear and showing their team pride.

But the real showstopper was Silver’s playful nod to the team’s head coach: he once rocked a cap, glasses, and a fake mustache, perfectly channeling the look of Andy Reid in a hilarious selfie. It’s that blend of personality and humor that keeps fans coming back for more.

Steel, the elder of the two, has a special backstory. According to The Kansas City Star, he was a gift from Mahomes to his now-wife Brittany back in 2017, when Mahomes was still at Texas Tech. The story of Steel’s name has some surprising roots; while Mahomes now credits Steel’s name to his distinctive gray coat, he originally named him after the Pittsburgh Steelers—a decision that Chiefs fans have forgiven, especially after Mahomes led them to a Super Bowl victory. And for Mahomes, Steel is more than just a pet; he feels an undeniable connection to him, even saying, “Me and my dog Steel are exactly the same person, except he’s a dog. His mannerisms, like the stuff he does, are literally exactly the same as me.” Steel truly is his furry kindred spirit.

Silver joined the Mahomes family during the 2019 NFL Playoffs, making his debut amid one of the busiest times of the year for his dad. The decision to adopt Silver was, at first, presented as a joint choice, but Patrick later admitted that Brittany was the real driving force behind the timing. “I was trying to wait until the offseason, but she wanted to get it up here quickly,” he shared, clearly a happy co-conspirator in bringing Silver home.

Whether it’s dressing up for the big game or just being the lovable dogs they are, Steel and Silver have carved out a unique place in the hearts of NFL fans and pet lovers alike. Their Instagram feed captures moments of joy, mischief, and team spirit that make them, and their superstar dad, even more endearing.
