Warning: Video contains coarse language
A Las Vegas Raiders rookie may have poked the wrong bear at training camp.
Seventh-round corner Trey Taylor trolled Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at practice Thursday with a Mahomes Kermit the Frog doll.

Fans seemingly gave Taylor the doll as he signed autographs. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Taylor mocks Mahomes, and chants of "I'm here!" are heard, presumably in reference to a viral mic'd-up clip of Mahomes during a Kansas City comeback win over Las Vegas in 2022.
The Chiefs and Raiders split their season series in 2023, with Las Vegas defensive back Jack Jones registering a 33-yard pick-6 off Mahomes at Arrowhead Stadium in a Week 16 victory.
However, the two-time NFL MVP and three-time Super Bowl champion has mostly put on a show versus the Raiders, passing for 30 touchdowns to four interceptions while winning 10 of his 12 starts against his division rival.
Kansas City and Las Vegas are scheduled to face off in Week 8 and Week 13 in 2024.
