ESPYs are tonight, but ‘Best NFL Player’ has already been announced (He wears No. 15)

The ESPYs will be broadcast Thursday night on ABC, but we know the winner of one award: Patrick Mahomes was selected Best NFL Player.

The announcement was made by ESPN on Wednesday.

Mahomes was one of four nominees for the award along with Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey.

Jackson was voted NFL MVP by The Associated Press.

Mahomes led the Chiefs to a second straight Super Bowl triumph and third in five years. They did it the hard way, winning road games against Buffalo and Baltimore before downing the 49ers 25-22 in overtime in Super Bowl LVIII, with Mahomes capping the game-winning drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman.

The performance gained Mahomes his third Super Bowl MVP.

Mahomes is up for another ESPY, Best Athlete in Men’s Sports, along with Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, golf’s Scottie Scheffler, and Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers.

Mahomes won both awards at last year’s ESPYs, and the Chiefs were named Best Team. The Chiefs are up for that award this year.

The ESPYs will be broadcast tonight at 7 p.m on ABC.
