Pat Mahomes, quarterback, Texas Tech
In three seasons at Texas Tech, Mahomes put up an incredible 11,252 yards and 93 touchdowns to go along with 29 interceptions. That’s not surprising when you consider the Red Raiders’ system, but those are still impressive none the less.
Mahomes is a big, NFL bodied quarterback at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, but the big question on his scouting report is one that has been haunting quarterbacks with lofty stats for years now.
Did he put up those kinds of numbers because of Texas Tech’s system? Or, is he just extremely talented and those numbers will translate to the NFL?
The answer to that question remains to be seen, but it certainly qualifies Mahomes for this boom or bust list.
