Joey McGuire Makes Stance Clear on Patrick Mahomes’ Impact on Texas Tech

There's no doubt that at just 29 years old, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes already left a permanent mark on the NFL, winning two MVP Awards and three Super Bowls.

Before that, though, he first started making waves as a member of the Texas Tech Raiders, where he played from 2014 to 2016, appearing in 32 games, completing 857-of-1,349 passes for 11,252 yards, 93 touchdowns and 29 interceptions.

It's clear that his former college still holds a special place in his heart, and in a video posted to "The Triple Option" YouTube channel, current head coach Joey McGuire revealed some of Mahomes' impact on the program.

"I will text him and say, 'Hey, man, I'm gonna have so and so on campus, you know, let's say he's a quarterback in 2026. Tell me a time that I can get on the phone with you and you can just say hello,' I think he probably sleeps in a double T every night," McGuire said. 

"Like he is just all the freaking in on Texas Tech. And he'll tell you, man, he literally says, 'I am who I am because I came to Lubbock and I'm a Red Raider.'
