So I wanted to make sure we shine a light on these guys. There are a bunch of these guys that can play in the league,” he claimed.

I know the talent that he has. Just to have the opportunity like today to showcase that talent on a national stage. I think that will help a ton,” he went on to add
Mahomes also said that the ultimate aim is to make the world and the NFL a better place. “To be able to show the guys the way, it doesn’t matter where you come from, once you’re in the NFL, you’re in the NFL and you can make the plays. There is so much history of HBCUs having great, Hall of Fame NFL players,” he stated.
Mahomes went on to claim that he wants the players in the HBCUs to have that belief that they can make it big. “I think this will be a great step in that way that we can get these HBCUs with NFL players every year like we know they can,” he said.
