Last year must have passed by like a whirlwind for Patrick Mahomes and the rest of his surrounding cast at Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes and Co. managed to make their way to the Lombardi Trophy after a gap of 50 years with a win over San Francisco 49ers.
Mahomes was adjudged as the Super Bowl LIV MVP after a brilliant display in the fourth quarter. Due to his ground-breaking displays over the last two years, Pat Mahomes was rewarded with a mammoth $450 million 10-year contract extension. As part of the deal, Mahomes will remain in Missouri until 2031 at least and stands to make somewhere close to half-a-billion in the next decade.
However, despite various individual accolades, Mahomes maintained that his success with the Chiefs is down to his top-notch teammates. Here’s what the 2018 NFL MVP had to say about the likes of Travis Kelce, Sammy Watkins, and others.
