Patrick Mahomes: 'I Probably Would Have' Played 4th Year at Texas Tech if NIL Existed

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said that he probably would have stayed at Texas Tech for his senior year had NIL existed when he played.

Mahomes provided that response in a Q-and-A with Pete Krathoff of the Kansas City Star in response to this question: "If NIL were around when you were in college, what would your deal have been?"
