This is a great move by Mahomes. Obviously, it’d be a lot cooler if he was giving the speech in person, but people have to take what they can get during the crisis.
If Mahomes giving a commencement speech virtually is the best option on the table, then the students should embrace.
Fun story for you all. I literally begged and begged anyone who would listen to have Russell Wilson give my commencement speech at Wisconsin.

Unfortunately, the school went with Katie Couric, who is a solid option. Would we all like to take a guess at who gave the speech the very next year?
Russell Wilson.
Luckily for the students at Texas Tech, they’re getting the greatest player in school history to return and give a virtual commencement. Good for him!
