Patrick Mahomes' path to today's Super Bowl in Miami took many twists and turns: He was three-star recruit )three offers out of high school, according to ESPN/Rivals: Texas Tech, Houston and Rice). He also didn't start playing organized football until seventh grade and didn't make his first start until his junior year in high school. He was also drafted in 34th round by Detroit Tigers in 2014 MLB Draft, and spent time with Red Raiders baseball program
David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
Congrats to Curtis Granderson, who announced his retirement, on a terrific career. With 344 home runs, over 1200 runs scored and 47.3 career WAR, he was one of the top outfielders of the past 15 years. My favorite Granderson stat: His 23 triples for the Tigers in 2007. Nobody has hit 20 since then. The last player to hit more? Kiki Cuyler in 1925.
