Dylan Raiola enters 2025 with Mahomes level buzz, but he pushes identity over imitation. He leans on a mentorship circle that includes Mahomes, Stafford and Brady, even visiting Arrowhead as Nebraska opens the season against Cincinnati. The focus is on absorbing elite QB IQ while carving his own style.

Raiola’s 2024 showed promise with 13 touchdowns, and coach Matt Rhule stresses that influence must not dilute his own game. The opener on Mahomes turf and a growing pro-style network could accelerate Raiola from college standout to NFL-ready signal-caller, shaping his fantasy and betting prospects.
