Aside from whats been mentioned, I think the leagues FO's saw that he didnt run a typical air raid ofense. He made pre snap reads and judgements, was allowed to change the play etc.
Most college spread/air raid guys are doing the 1 read and go or the coach read from the sideline thing. Mahomes and Texas Tech didnt do that, they ran a pro style pre-snap read and progression mixed with the effectiveness of the college football air raid play style.
