During a recent media appearance on 'The Herd with Colin Cowherd,' former Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy shared high praise for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
"He's the best college quarterback that I've ever seen, and I told him after his junior year, we beat them, I think by one point," said Gundy, "I went out on the field and told him, 'Patrick, there's no reason you should come back and play college football next year. You need to go out (for the NFL Draft).' And he laughed, but I was being serious because he was the best college quarterback that I've ever seen. He made play after play after play after play."
Mahomes was inducted into the Texas Tech Hall of Fame in 2022 for his amazing college career, but was winless against Gundy's Oklahoma State teams.
"At that time, he was in our league; we had four or five quarterbacks in the Big 12 every year over about a six- or seven-year stretch, and all of them played in the NFL," said Gundy. "You know as well as anybody that if you have an NFL team on your team in college, you're going to win games. You'll win 9, 10, 11, 12 games. He played against those teams week to week. He was the best college quarterback that I've ever seen."
In three seasons at Texas Tech, Mahomes completed 859 passes for 11,252 yards, 93 touchdowns, and 29 interceptions. He's third in school history in yards and touchdowns.
