I guess if this guy sits for at least a season and and half he might be something. As a prospect he goes against pretty much everything everybody has been whining for minus a strong arm.
Could you find a lazier comparison?
Kap's last 3 years at Nevada averaged over 1100 yards rushing per year. Mahomes had 800 yards rushing in 3 years. Read option vs air raid. Mahomes had 5052 yds, 41 TD vs. Kap 3022 yds, 19 TD as a senior.
Now compare that to Goff final year at Cal
Goff had 4714 yds and 43 Td. Mahomes had 285 yds rushing as a junior compared to Goff's -62.
Combine 40 results; Goff 4.82, Mahomes 4.80. Kap 4.53
Kap and Mahomes are nothing a like.
The best comparison for Mahomes is a more athletic Goff.
