Despite attending the same alma mater, Baker Mayfield and Patrick Mahomes didn’t spend much time together, as Mayfield was a year ahead of Mahomes, who made his NFL debut a year earlier than Mayfield. However, in that brief time they spent together, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback considers it a close bond.
Ahead of the upcoming Week 9 matchup against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs, Mayfield opened up about his relationship with his former college teammate, Mahomes. During an interview with Rich Eisen, the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner reminisced about his time with the three-time Super Bowl champion, dating back to when the latter visited Texans Tech.
Ya. We are close. Pat’s a great guy. It goes back to when I was still at Texas Tech hosting him on his official visit. Just getting to know the guy as a person and then when I left, you know watching from afar what he has been able to do.
Baker Mayfield said
He further shared that he is not surprised to see the success the 29-year-old had in seven seasons in the league as he was already a subject of discussion among everyone when he arrived from his high school. While Mayfield experienced a rocky start before his career took off last season, Mahomes found the right time from the beginning and is already breaking legendary records in the league.

As they pursue a historic three-peat, Kansas City appears poised to break even more records. The six-time Pro Bowler engraved his name in the pages of history after becoming the fastest player to record 30,000 yards in the NFL’s history.
In addition to this, they will break their own record of 13 consecutive victories if they secure a victory against the Bucs in Week 9 as it will mark their 14th win on the trot It will also solidify their playoff berth while being the favorite to win the grand Vince Lombardi trophy.
Despite not being at their best individually, including quarterback Mahomes, the Kansas City have consistently demonstrated their ability to win games, especially blowout ones. The team understands how to capitalize on their strengths altogether and that has helped them navigate challenging situations in the past.
