From Davey O'Brien to Johnny Manziel, and from Andre Ware to Robert Griffin III, Mahomes on Sunday did something never accomplished in the football-rich state of Texas.
Patrick Mahomes by now has become a household name among football fans in America. The young man from East Texas played high school football in the Lone Star State, and before the last two seasons, he probably could have somewhat gotten lost in a Who's Who of Texas quarterbacks.
From Port Arthur to El Paso and Amarillo to the Rio Grande Valley, that's quite a mind-boggling accomplishment that took more than half a century to do. The last two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks who played high school football in Texas—Baker Mayfield of Austin's Lake Travis High and Kyler Murray of Allen High School—both finished their careers at Oklahoma, but started their journeys at Texas universities before transferring. Mayfield played at Texas Tech and Murray went to A&M.
Mahomes on Sunday not only became the first quarterback from a Texas college to win a Super Bowl as the starter, he also won the MVP in an unforgettable way. He led the Kansas City Chiefs back from a 20-10 deficit in the fourth quarter and rallied his team to a 31-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
