Mahomes earned the honor after pacing the league with 5,250 passing yards and 41 touchdowns in the regular season, the only quarterback to eclipse 5,000 passing yards and 40 touchdowns this year. His 308.8 passing yards per game was also an NFL-high. With Mahomes under center, the Chiefs led the NFL in total offense, passing and scoring during the regular season.

The Chiefs (14-3) won their seventh straight AFC West championship, tying for the second-longest streak in NFL history, and earned the No. 1 playoff seed in the AFC playoffs.

The 27-year-old quarterback was named a first-team All-Pro for the second time and received his fifth career Pro Bowl invitation this year.

This season was Mahomes’ fifth as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback, and he's led the franchise to five straight home AFC championship games and three Super Bowl appearances, including Super Bowl 57 on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona.

“He’s a straight warrior and we know that. He’s our leader and we follow behind him,” Chiefs tackle Orlando Brown said after the team’s AFC championship win. “He’s the best at what he does in the world.”

Mahomes is the 10th quarterback in NFL history with multiple MVP awards.

The Chiefs drafted Mahomes No. 10 overall in the 2017 NFL draft out of Texas Tech. He became the team’s full-time starter in 2018. Since 2018, Mahomes leads the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns, registering a 64-16 career regular-season record.

“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. Without Him, none of this would even be possible,” Mahomes said on video before thanking his family. “To the Chiefs organization, Clark Hunt, Brett Veach, Andy Reid, the staff and most of all my teammates, I would never be standing here today without y’all. Every day giving everything that we have together to go for the ultimate goal, the Super Bowl. Let’s continue to go for that dream this weekend.”
