Manning told PEOPLE that Mahomes’s “calmness” regardless of game situation is what separates him from other NFL quarterbacks.

season, right?,” Manning said in the article published on July 10. “And when you’re calm in those moments, it sure does serve you well and we’ve just seen it over and over again. We can go on about all the different reasons but I think his calmness in the crucial moments are really what makes him special.”

On July 10 — one day before the ESPYS — ESPN announced via “NFL Live” that Mahomes is the recipient of the 2024 “Best NFL Player” award.

Users on X, formerly Twitter, reacted to Mahomes winning the award for a second-straight season.

“I’m a DOLPHIN UNTIL I DIE, but credit is given where credit is earned! You have definitely done that! Congrats, @PatrickMahomes, you’re on your way to replacing Brady! #MahomesWillRetireTheGoat,” one user wrote.

Never a doubt. Best player in the league by a landslide. Built on Coors, Whataburger, Prime, Subway and Throne Sport Coffee,” another user wrote.

“Can’t argue with that. When you win back-to-back Super Bowls, especially after playing two road playoff games for the first time in your career, you deserve that honor,” another user wrote. “It sucks for most of the NFL, but Mahomes earned that ESPY with how he played when it truly mattered.”

Mahomes was also nominated for “Best Athlete, Men’s Sports” and the Chiefs were nominated for “Best Team”.

Other athletes who were nominated for “Best Athlete, Men’s Sports” were Shohei Ohtani (MLB), Scottie Scheffler (PGA), and Connor McDavid (NHL). The other nominated athletes for “Best NFL Player” were Myles Garrett (Cleveland Browns), Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens), and Christian McCaffrey (San Francisco 49ers).

Other teams that were nominated for “Best Team” are the South Carolina Gamecocks (NCAA women’s basketball), Michigan Wolverines (NCAA football), Las Vegas Aces (WNBA), University of Connecticut Huskies (NCAA Men’s basketball), Oklahoma Sooners (NCAA softball), Boston Celtics (NBA), Florida Panthers (NHL), and Texas Rangers (MLB).

The ESPYs, which will be hosted by Serena Williams, will broadcast live on Thursday, July 11 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on ABC.

Despite all of the distractions that the NFL offseason can bring, Mahomes and the Chiefs have their eyes set on NFL history this upcoming season as they seek to become the first team to ever win three straight Super Bowls.

Speaking to the media on April 15, Mahomes detailed how the team is remaining focused and not getting overwhelmed by the monumental task at hand.

It was something that was discussed more after we won the second one,” Mahomes said of chatter amongst teammates regarding a potential three-peat. “Now that we’re kind of back and starting back from the beginning, that’s how you have to start, you have to start from the beginning, you have to go back to your fundamentals.

I’ll be going over fronts and stuff today, stuff that might get a little tedious and stuff that I need to know,” Mahomes continued. “The coaches will get a laugh out of it because they know that it kind of irritates me sometimes. That’s how it is, you have to go back to the beginning, go back to your elementary school and learn from the beginning and I think that’s something that has kind of gotten us to where we’re at is that you can’t be satisfied at where we’re at, you have to learn and pick up one little different thing that you didn’t know the year before. That’s something that I will continue to work on throughout this offseason and prepare myself and then once we get to the season, we’ll try to make that run at it but it’s going to take a day-in, day-out type of mentality
