Although Patrick Mahomes is well known for having a high football IQ, he also has remarkable academic credentials.
Mahomes was a standout player on and off the field from his time at Whitehouse High School to his time at Texas Tech, with an astounding Grade Point Average (GPA).
Patrick’s mother, Randi Mahomes, disclosed in a recent interview with Tyler Today that her son began earning college credits at Tyler Junior College while still a high school student.
Randi said, I am very proud of his athletic achievements, expressing her delight in her son’s academic accomplishments.
But I am more pleased with his academic accomplishments.
Throughout his three years at Texas Tech, Mahomes kept a stellar 3.91 GPA, significantly higher than the 3.0 national average.
The quarterback for the Chiefs chose to forgo his senior year and pursue the 2017 NFL Draft despite his academic success; this move has subsequently paid off.
Mahomes’ decision to enter the NFL early has clearly paid off, as evidenced by his seven-year career that includes two MVP nominations, one Offensive Player of the Year title, six Pro Bowl choices, and three Super Bowl rings.
