Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach died this week, generating a well-deserved outpouring of not just sympathy, but appreciation for his impact on the game of football.
on the game of football.
Go back to 2012, Mahomes' junior season at Whitehouse High School. He played safety as a sophomore before becoming the Whitehouse quarterback. He was, however, adaptive, intelligent and extremely competitive. In the most basic of terms, the Air Raid favors those characteristics. A more old-school, pro-style offense might not have worked for him.
Mahomes’ father, Pat, once told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that the University of Texas recruited his son to play safety, seeing him more as an athlete. Other schools were scared off by the belief that Patrick would focus on baseball — so banking on him becoming a starting quarterback was risky. In other words, this was no safety. This was putting the best player in the most important spot. Undeterred by Mahomes possibly choosing baseball , Kingsbury told Mahomes to come to Tech and play both sports.
