Today, ESPYS announced this year’s various NFL awards, with Chiefs quarterback Mahomes unsurprisingly taking home the title of Player of the Year.
The nominees for Player of the Year included Mahomes (Chiefs, Super Bowl MVP), Lamar Jackson (Ravens, Regular Season MVP), McCaffrey (49ers, Madden 25 Cover Athlete), and Myles Garrett (Browns, DPOY).
Mahomes ultimately clinched the title thanks to his impeccable performance in the Super Bowl. In this year’s Super Bowl, Mahomes threw the game-winning pass to Hill for a touchdown in overtime, helping the Chiefs successfully defend their title against the 49ers, and he was subsequently named the Super Bowl MVP.
