Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the MVP of Super Bowl LVII! The star quarterback, who was also named MVP for the 2022-2023 NFL season, is a record-breaking megastar as he is the fifth player to win the Super Bowl MVP award twice, according to CBS Sports. According to the NFL, he is also the first person in this century to be named both the Associated Press NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP in the same season. It’s no surprise he was awarded the title minutes after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, February 12, 2023: He completed 21 of 27 passes and had no interceptions.

2. Patrick is humble despite his fame and fortune
Just before his NFL training camp began in August 2020, Patrick hosted a social distancing barbecue at his mansion in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, according to Sports Illustrated. According to the outlet, his mother fears that the fame and fortune he earned himself would change who he is at core. However, she discovered that her son was the same boy she had raised when she peeked into his pantry at the shindig and saw Cool Ranch Doritos, his favorite snack. “You look at all the changes, whether it’s how tall he is or this mustache he’s got right now that’s driving me crazy, but he’s still the same,” she proudly noted at the time.

3. Patrick Mahomes has a strong arm
While the quarterback he defeated at Super Bowl 2023 – Jalen Hurts – has super muscular legs, Patrick is known for his impressive throws. He can throw with so much power that he was once recorded throwing a football in front of Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The video can be seen Here.

4. There is another sport that is close to Patrick Mahomes’ heart
Patrick Mahomes father, Pat Mahomes Sr., was a pitcher in Major League Baseball for 11 years. And while he doesn’t play, baseball is still a big part of Patrick’s life because, according to insiders, he became a part owner of the Kansas City Royals in 2020 after buying a fractional stake in the team. The deal made him the youngest owner in MLB history. “I am honored to become a part owner of the Kansas City Royals,” he said in a July 2020 statement. “I love this city and the people of this great city. This opportunity allows me to deepen my roots in this community, which I’m really looking forward to.”

He made the move after striking a historic mega deal with the Chiefs by signing a 12-year, $503 million deal. It was the biggest deal in all of American sports history.
5. Patrick Mahomes has a passion for shoes and ketchup
If Patrick ever tires of breaking records in the NFL, he has another passion to focus on: sneakers. In an August 2019 video shared by Bleacher Report, he showed off his and Brittany’s new home and custom-made shoe closet, which includes his collection of 180 pairs, although he probably has more at this point! “I get to wear each of these about twice a year,” he said in the video, before gushed about how wonderful it felt to be a first-time homeowner.
Patrick is also a huge fan of ketchup. His favorite ketchup is actually from the Texas fast food chain Whataburger. He used to be even tweeted that he would like the restaurant to bring a location to Kansas City. Maybe now that the Kansas City Chiefs have won the Super Bowl again and he’s been named MVP, they’re doing it – again.
