Brittany Mahomes shows support for husband Patrick as QB looks to NFL's highest honor
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has won just about every award and accolade there is to win. He is an MVP winner, a Super Bowl winner, and now, is looking to add another one to the collection. But this one has more meaning than others.
The NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year award is highly coveted in the football community. Each of the 32 NFL teams will nominate one player from their team and the Chiefs have chosen Mahomes. The award honors a player's impact on the field, as well as the reach and impact he has on the community.
Mahomes' wife, Brittany, is giving whole-hearted support to her husband and has taken to Twitter to make it known.

Winning the award is one of the highest honors an NFL player can get. Some have even put it about the NFL MVP title and a Super Bowl win. Former LA Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth won the award last year.
Patrick Mahomes aiming to add Walter Payton award to his impressive collection
The Chiefs star has done everything in the NFL aside from breaking passing records. Let's not forget that he is only in his sixth season and is already a four-time Pro Bowler, an All-Pro, a Super Bowl and MVP winner.
Adding the Walter Payton Man of the Year award to his collection would rubber stamp his standing in the league (if it isn't already). His on-field exploits are superb.
In 75 games, the quarterback has a 59-16 record, has thrown for 22,799 passing yards, 181 touchdowns, and just 45 interceptions. Mahomes has led the Chiefs to a 9-3 record while throwing for 3,808 yards, 30 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions.
Many have the Chiefs as one of the Super Bowl favorites and rightly so. Keep in mind that number 15 is doing all of this without Tyreek Hill, who swapped Kansas City for Miami in the offseason.
There is so much love for the Chiefs quarterback simply because of what he has done and what he can do on the field. But the biggest part of his legacy could be what he has done for the Kansas City community.
