After being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes became a regular starter for the franchise in 2018. Since then, he has established himself as a superhero for Kansas City fans after bringing the Super Bowl title two times in only five seasons.
Mahomes’ ever-impressive list of numerous titles and accolades became heavier recently as the Chiefs’ 27-year-old QB was honored with the 2023 ESPY award following his phenomenal success in the recent Super Bowl.
Mahomes adds to his ever-growing repertoire following the 2023 ESPY awards
Pat won the 2023 ESPY award for the Best Male Athlete by overshadowing Nikola Jokic, Aaron Judge, and Lionel Messi. He also got the title of ESPY Award for Best NFL Player. The NFL star arrived on the red carpet for the 2023 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles along with his wife Brittany Mahomes.
He thanked his fellow teammates, coaches, and all the fans as well as voiced optimism to continue the winning streak in the upcoming season as well,
“It was an incredible season. There was many ups, many downs. I appreciate my teammates, my coaches, the guys that are here. I go back to camp next Tuesday, so this is a great award. But we’re going to do this thing again, we’re going to keep this thing rolling.”
The Chiefs QB wore a shimmery peach double-breasted suit with a gold chain and black loafers for the function.
How many ESPYs did Mahomes bag till date?
Patrick won the ESPY for Best NFL Player for the second time now. He won the award for the first time in 2019 after ending the Chiefs’ 50-year Super Bowl drought by bringing the highly-awaiting Lombardi trophy to Kansas City. He won his first MVP title in that season as well.

Nevertheless, the QB has won the Best Male Athlete ESPY again this year after beating some highly renowned faces in the sports world. He is the first NFL player to earn the feat since Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ former QB Tom Brady in 2021. Former New Orleans Saints Drew Brees earned the award in 2010.
Mahomes is coming off a dreamy season and the Chiefs fans are probably expecting him to continue the dynasty in the upcoming season as well. Do you think Pat will be able to extend his impressive streak? Do let us know!
