Just six years into his NFL career, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is already a two-time NFL MVP. Mahomes won his second MVP award at the NFL Honors ceremony on Thursday, receiving 48 out of 50 possible first-place votes.
Mahomes finished with 490 points, edging out rivals like Philadelphia Eagles’ signal-caller Jalen Hurts and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Hurts finished second in the voting with 193 points, while Allen came in second with 151 votes.
Making an appearance on NFL Honors via video, Mahomes thanked his family, the Chiefs organization, and the fans for supporting him on his journey.
“I would never be standing here today without you all,” Mahomes said. “Every day, giving everything we have together to go for the ultimate goal: the Super Bowl. Let’s continue to go for that dream this weekend.”
With the MVP award already locked in, Mahomes will now focus on ending his season on an even bigger note. His Chiefs are facing the Eagles in the Super Bowl, and the 27-year-old player is hoping to pair up his two MVP trophies with two Super Bowl rings. He already won one championship in 2019.
Patrick Mahomes is just the 10th player in the history of the NFL to win the MVP award two times. The only two players that got two MVPs in a shorter amount of time than Mahomes are Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown and Hall of Fame QB Kurt Warner.
