Watch Video: Patrick Mahomes was snubbed by Texas football programs for this shocking reason…see more

Before he was a three-time Super Bowl champion, a two-time league MVP, and one of the most electrifying quarterbacks in NFL history, Patrick Mahomes was a high school star being shockingly overlooked by major college programs-including those in his own home state of Texas. And the reason why? It might just blow your mind.
Despite putting up jaw-dropping numbers at Whitehouse High School-throwing for over 5,000 yards, 50 touchdowns, and rushing for 12 more in his senior season-Mahomes was barely on the radar for big-time college recruiters.
Not even his status as the son of former MLB pitcher Pat Mahomes could convince powerhouse schools like Texas and Texas A&M to take a chance on him. The major programs labeled Mahomes a three-star recruit, raising concerns about his footwork and decision-making.
As a result, he received only three offers-Texas Tech, Rice, and Houston. Of those, only Texas Tech was willing to offer a scholarship. But there was an even bigger reason for Mahomes’ snub.
