Texas Tech University and Patrick Mahomes have been associated together numerous times in the NFL realm. After all, the Super Bowl Champion did put up record-breaking numbers for their NFL team. However, despite this connection, the 28-year-old has yet to graduate from the university. In a candid confession, Patrick Mahomes came forth and let his fans know this rare detail about his college life.

Earlier, the QB did a whole photoshoot and an interview with TIME and was added to their list of the world’s 100 most influential people. Now, he’s up there with Complex because “he has time,” to discuss his uni life and certain details about the same that might not sit well with Randi Mahomes, his mother.

Complex Sports recently uploaded a snippet of their interview with the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. He read a post on X that said, “Patrick Mahomes did not graduate from Texas Tech btw (emoji),” and the 3x Super Bowl winner had to spill the truth behind the claim made by a fan.

“I have not graduated yet. I’m 15 hours short,” said the QB and added, “If Travis got his diploma, I’ve got to find a way to get my diploma from Texas Tech. I did way more classes than he did. My mom’s gonna be pissed if I don’t.”

Well, after his admission to the NFL, he might not have been able to get around graduating. But if Kelce got his diploma years later, Mahomes might be able to achieve it as well. The Chiefs TE did the latest version of his New Heights podcast at Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena. During the occasion, Kelce and his elder brother received their diploma from the University of Cincinnati at the Lombaby games.

Kelce majored in Criminal Justice. He joined the University in 2008, but only recently got his degree from the institution. While education seem to be of vital importance as highlighted by Kelce through his drive for the same and Mahomes admission, there have been a number of QBs who did not finish college including the star Lamar Jackson.

Lamar Jackson on the list of QBs who didn’t finish college

One of the most notable names on this list of QBs who did not get to finish college is Lamar Jackson, who won a Heisman during his time in Louisville. Even without an agent, the MVP QB became a first-round pick in the draft. Surprisingly, Aaron Rodgers-the 4x NFL MVP also didn’t complete his graduation. Despite shifting schools, he still couldn’t make it to the graduation list.

However, he does hold an honorary from the Medical College of Wisconsin (2018). It was awarded as an honorary doctorate of humanities degree for his work in helping children with cancer. Another known quarterback is Matthew Stafford. Starting at the University of Georgia and winning a Super Bowl for the Rams has been a long journey for Stafford. Maybe he will get his mind around it sometime.
