Patrick Mahomes, the two-time NFL MVP, is back discussing Big Ten football as he praises freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola. This comes after the legendary quarterback's previous commendation of Graham Mertz during his impressive debut in 2020. Mertz, who initially shined completing 20 of 21 passes, faced struggles later in his career, transferring to Florida before the 2023 season.

Fans should keep an eye on Raiola's performance as it could alter the dynamic between Wisconsin and Nebraska.
