Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been selected as the Hickok Belt® Award winner for February 2024. Voting was conducted by a select panel of members of the National Sports Media Association (NSMA). Mahomes led his team to a remarkable win in Super Bowl 58 versus the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22. Mahomes completed 34 of 46 pass attempts, finishing with 333 yards passing and two touchdowns. With only three seconds left on the clock, wide receiver Mercole Hardman was the unsung hero with the game-winning touchdown. The historic game lasted for 74 minutes and 57 seconds, making it the longest Super Bowl in NFL history. The 28-year-old Mahomes captured the MVP award for the third time in his career.
Other finalists for February in order of how the NSMA ranked them were: Luka Doncic (basketball), William Byron (auto racing), Auston Matthews (hockey), Kayla DiCello (gymnastics), Igor Shesterkin (hockey), Wyndham Clark (golf), Teofimo Lopez (boxing), Daniil Medvedev (tennis), and Jasmine Paolini (tennis).
Mahomes’ selection as the Hickok Belt® winner for February recognizes him as “the best of the best” in professional sports for the month. It also makes him the second candidate eligible to receive the 2024 overall award, joining Jannik Sinner and other finalists throughout the year based on NSMA voting.
