Patrick Mahomes, the greatest Kansas City Chiefs player of all time, just made history.
Sure, he won the MVP award and the Super Bowl MVP in the same season for the first time since 1999 when Kurt Warner did it. The previous seven MVP winners lost the Super Bowl.
So, yeah, he beat those odds. But that isn't even the history being made that I'm talking about.
That's how special this guy is. There have been so many records broken and set by Mahomes that this is becoming the norm now. But what he did on Sunday puts him in elite company.
Elite because he's the only one to ever do it.
After Sunday's Super Bowl win over the Eagles, Mahomes became the first guy to have multiple Super Bowl MVPs and multiple MVPs in his first six seasons.
Not Tom Brady, not Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, no one. That's elite company because it's just Mahomes.
This ring may be one of the more important ones for him too, as he lost Tyreek Hill in the offseason, and had more doubt than he ever had in his NFL career. His whole career all we have heard is him being the favorite, well this postseason he wasn't the favorite but for one game against the Jaguars.
Before the season started a lot of people didn't even have the Chiefs making the playoffs. Yet, Mahomes goes into the Super Bowl with an entirely different receiver group than what he had last season. The only two weapons he had that were the same were Kelce and Hardman, who didn't play most of the season.
Mahomes still figures out a way to get the job done, as he always does.
