Summary
The road to becoming an elite high school quarterback can be both long and expensive. So, if a kid really wants to be the next Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes, how much should a parent expect to spend? The Athletic’s Antonio Morales recently spoke with parents of some of the country's most elite young quarterbacks to learn what they went through and whether or not they felt it was worth it. He joins us today to tell the story of one of those players, and to explain why raising a star QB doesn't necessarily have to break the bank.
