Patrick Mahomes Wins Back-to-Back Best Athlete Awards at 2024 ESPYs
Hey everyone! Guess what? Our favorite NFL superstar, Patrick Mahome
s, has done it again! For the second time this year, Mahomes has taken home a major award. On Thursday, July 11, the 28-year-old quarterback was named the Best Athlete in Men’s Sports at the 2024 ESPYs. Can you believe it? It’s his second consecutive win for this prestigious honor, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!
The Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California, was buzzing with excitement during the awards ceremony. Although Mahomes couldn’t be there in person to accept the award, his presence was certainly felt. Instead, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid stepped up to the plate to accept the award on his behalf, and his speech was nothing short of heartwarming.
“Listen, I am honored to be here, to pick up this award for Patrick,” began Coach Reid, who at 66, still has a youthful enthusiasm when it comes to his team and players. “I’ve been around this kid for two years now, and to watch him grow as a football player, as a teammate, as a leader has been phenomenal.” You could really hear the pride in his voice.
Reid didn’t stop there. He went on to share some personal insights about Mahomes that truly touched everyone in the room. He spoke about how he’s had the privilege to see Mahomes grow not just on the field but also off it. Mahomes, who shares a beautiful family with his wife Brittany, is a proud father to daughter Sterling Sky, 3, and son Patrick “Bronze” Avon III, 19 months. According to Reid, watching Mahomes grow as a father and a husband has been the “best part” of knowing him.
The Dolby Theater was filled with applause as Reid wrapped up his heartfelt speech, saying that while the National Football League might be “very lucky” to have Patrick, it’s Kansas City that appreciates “all that he does” the most. It was a moment of immense pride for Chiefs fans everywhere.
This incredible accolade for Mahomes comes just months after he was named Super Bowl MVP for the second year in a row. Yes, you read that right—two years in a row! Alongside Mahomes, other sports superstars like Dodgers star Showed Obtain, golfer Scottie Schaeffer, and Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers were also nominated for the best male athlete award at the ESPYs. It’s worth noting that Obtain, who won the award back in 2022, is an absolute legend in his own right.
But that’s not all! Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl winner, was also nominated for this year’s best NFL player award. And guess what? He won that too! The category had some fierce competitors, including San Francisco 49er Christian McCaffrey, Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, and Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett. The Kansas City Chiefs, Mahomes’ team, were also nominated for the Best Team award at this year’s ESPYs. It was truly a night to remember for Chiefs Kingdom.
Reflecting on his journey, Mahomes has always shown immense gratitude to the fans who have supported him and the team. In his acceptance speech for the award in 2023, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to Chiefs fans for being the best in the world. “Chiefs Kingdom, I truly believe, is the best fan base in the world. We’re going to do this thing again, we’re going to keep this thing rolling. I appreciate all you all,” he said during the show. It’s this connection with the fans that makes Mahomes so special.
So, what’s next for Mahomes? Well, he’s going to enjoy the last few days of his off season before the Chiefs return for mandatory training camp in Kansas City on July 21. It’s back to the grind, but knowing Mahomes, he’s ready to tackle whatever comes his way with the same determination and passion that has brought him this far.
The ESPY Awards, which aired live on ABC, was a night of celebration, recognition, and inspiration. It’s always amazing to see athletes who work so hard get the recognition they deserve. And Mahomes, with his incredible talent, leadership, and humility, truly stands out.

Off the field, Mahomes is just as impressive. He’s known for his charitable work and community involvement, often giving back to the Kansas City community that has embraced him so warmly. He and his wife, Brittany, founded the 15 and the Mahomes Foundation, which is dedicated to improving the lives of children. The foundation focuses on initiatives that support health, wellness, communities in need of resources, and other charitable causes.
Mahomes’ impact extends beyond football and philanthropy. He’s a role model for young athletes everywhere, showing that with hard work, dedication, and a positive attitude, anything is possible. His story is one of perseverance, passion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
