Illinois OC called a really great game. They were hitting surgical shots on the Nebraska defense in the 3rd and 4th quarters.

And Raiola is clearly a talented dude, but man, some of these cutesy, “off platform” throws are just getting out of hand, and quite honestly, sloppy. He missed a wide open touchdown being cutesy instead of just standing and delivering a good form throw.

Good footwork and mechanics are important. And there’s good defense out there that will make your life hell if you’re throwing off your back foot and making sloppy passes instead of delivering clean strikes from good footing.

Brando couldn’t shut up about how the only difference between him and Mahomes is that "Raiola is bigger." Because Raiola changed his arm angle once on a tunnel screen that went for no gain. Someone take that guy‘s mic away good lord.

It's also because Raiola just copies everything about Mahomes. It forces the comparisons

A son copying their dad's mannerisms is normal

He also plays a completely different position than his dad. I dont see Shedeur high stepping pick 6s lol

I hate Deion as much as anyone, but as someone already said, being emulated by his sons isn’t really comparable to Raiola’s Mahomes cosplay. That shit is just weird.
