Fitzpatrick: Mahomes Primed for Third MVP
6 Jul
Summary
- Ryan Fitzpatrick predicts Patrick Mahomes will win MVP in 2026.
- Mahomes aims for a third MVP, joining elite NFL quarterbacks.
- Mahomes' 2025 season stats included 22 TDs and 11 INTs.
Retired NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has identified Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as the leading candidate for the 2026 league MVP award. Fitzpatrick suggested that Mahomes' determination, fueled by recent discussions about his standing among top quarterbacks and a focus on rehabbing from an injury, will drive him to achieve this milestone.
Mahomes' performance in the 2025 season, prior to a knee injury, saw him complete 22 touchdown passes against 11 interceptions over 14 games. He also contributed significantly with 422 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. Despite being named an alternate for the AFC Pro Bowl, his season was ultimately shortened by the injury.
If Mahomes secures this anticipated MVP award, he would etch his name into NFL history. He would join an exclusive fraternity of six legendary players, including Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Jim Brown, and Johnny Unitas, who have all earned three or more MVP titles.
