'We went after him hard': How Kliff Kingsbury got the jump on recruiting high schooler Patrick Mahomes

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- When B.J. Anderson would return to College Station after recruiting East Texas for Texas A&M, he’d have a pile of DVDs full of highlights to watch.

The former Aggies offensive line coach would go through each one, looking for players who caught his attention. It was his job to recruit every position, but his expertise was O-linemen, so when he came across a player -- like a quarterback, for example -- he’d pass along that highlight reel to the right position coach.

That’s why Anderson walked into then-offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's office in 2012 to talk about a relatively unknown quarterback from Whitehouse, Texas named Patrick Mahomes.
