KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes added another accolade to his already impressive resume on Thursday night.
Mahomes was named the best male athlete at the 2024 ESPYS, making it the second consecutive year he wins the award.
Other nominees for the award included Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers; golf player Scottie Scheffler; and Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid accepted the award on Mahomes' behalf on Thursday night.
Mahomes helped lead the Chiefs to back-to-back Super Bowl wins, the first time a team accomplished the feat since the New England Patriots in the 2003-04 seasons.
