Patrick Mahomes' electric Texas Tech career
Before he made amazing throws in the NFL, it all started with the Red Raiders for Mahomes. The quarterback played three seasons at Texas Tech, all under head coach Kliff Kingsbury, the current Arizona Cardinals head coach. After a lackluster freshman season, the quarterback turned it on during his sophomore campaign.
In the 2015 season, Mahomes threw for 4,653 yards, 36 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. That season, he finished first in the Big 12 conference in both yards and touchdowns. He also had 10 touchdowns on the ground in the 2015 -2016 season.
The Lubbock, Texas native had an even better junior season. He led all of college football with 5,052 yards and was third with 41 touchdowns. In that 2016 - 2017 season, he won the Sammy Baugh Award as college football's most outstanding passer.
Overall, he ranks third all-time in Texas Tech history in career passing yards and touchdowns.
