How did Favre do in his first season as a starter? It’s worth examining, because Mahomes will be taking the reins full time this fall.
Why many are so high on Mahomes is his incredible college production. Although he showed precocious signs as a freshman, it wasn’t until his sophomore year where he was handed the Red Raider offense to show off his passing prowess. He started all 13 games, passed for 4,653 yards and threw 36 touchdowns.
