QB Mahomes wins second NFL MVP award

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player at the NFL Honors ceremony held Thursday evening at Symphony Hall in Phoenix, Arizona.

The 27-year-old Mahomes received 48 of 50 possible votes from Associated Press voters to win the award.

“First, I want to thank God for giving me this platform — and putting so many amazing people around me to help support this dream I’ve had since I was a little kid…,” he said.

“To my wife Brittany, my baby girl Sterling, and my son Bronze — this crazy life that we are living means nothing without you all, keeping me balanced and making me appreciate every single day.

“No matter how I feel coming home, you all bring me joy and make me appreciate the time that I get to spend with you all. Thank you for always being the for me, through my good times and my bad. Love you all.”

Having already become the Chiefs’ only MVP-winner during the 2008 season, he adds the distinction of being a two-time award winner to his extensive list of accomplishments.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills each received single votes.
