As Texas Tech slipped below .500 Saturday with a 45-37 loss to Texas and Red Raiders fans start looking for a bright side, one’s becoming apparent: It seems more and more likely Patrick Mahomes II could, indeed, be back for his senior season.
Mahomes hasn’t said one way or another, but the level of play the Tech quarterback’s putting on film the past couple of weeks can’t be elevating his stature in the eyes of NFL scouts.
More likely, it’s pushing him out of the top half-dozen prospects at his position, and if he’s not going to go in the first or second round, what would be the point of leaving early?
