In his first season as the Chiefs starter, quarterback Patrick Mahomes was named to the NFL All-Pro team last week, which is quite an accomplishment for a young player.
Mahomes was a runaway winner, too, getting 45 of the 50 votes. That’s important to note when it comes to the NFL MVP award, which Mahomes could take home.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported that the same 50 people who voted for the All-Pro team also pick the other postseason award winners, including the MVP.
Since the 2007 season, the quarterback who was first-team All-Pro also won the MVP award in all but one instance.
