Patrick Mahomes had some stigma smashing to do when he entered the NFL.
The former Texas Tech quarterback put up unreal numbers in college, but was only the tenth player chosen in the 2017 draft because previous Air Raid passers didn’t work out in the pros.
Mahomes answered all the doubters this year, leading the Chiefs to the AFC Championship game in a campaign that should nab him the league’s MVP award.
The question now: Can Mahomes’ former mentor at Texas Tech, Kliff Kingsbury, find schematic success using the Air Raid with the Cardinals? Count Mahomes among the believers.
“A lot of the Air Raid that people talk about, it’s involved in a lot of these (NFL) offenses,” Mahomes said Thursday from the Pro Bowl. “If you see coach Kingsbury and the way he does pro concepts, you’ll know that it will translate well as he gets here and keeps adding on to the pro concepts.”
