One player who might get just such an opportunity is Rice tight end Graham Walker. While he might not be familiar to many football fans in Kansas City, they do know his half-brother: Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

͏Patrick Mahome͏s͏ wasted no t͏ime sharing his reac͏t͏i͏on. The Chiefs' superstar quarterb͏a͏ck simply poste͏d a “😎” ͏em͏oji, a cool ͏and c͏o͏nfident nod to ͏the te͏am's͏ newest prot͏e͏ctor.

Mahomes was overlooked, too, when he came out of high school, rated as the No. 398 prospect overall in the Class of 2014 by 247 Sports. He did become a star at TCU, however, throwing for an NCAA-best 5,052 yards with 41 touchdowns in 2016, which led to him landing as the No. 10 pick overall to the Chiefs.
