The Kansas City Chiefs announced their annual team awards on Thursday as quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Rashee Rice were each honored for their respective efforts in 2023.

Mahomes was the recipient of the “Derrick Thomas Award,” which is annually presented to the Chiefs’ most valuable player. This marks Mahomes’ third time earning the award, which is named for the Chiefs’ legendary, Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker. Mahomes threw for 4,183 yards and 27 touchdowns in 2023 before leading Kansas City on one of the greatest postseason runs in NFL history, culminating in a second-straight world championship.

One of Mahomes’ top targets all season long was Rice, who was named the recipient of the annual “Mack Lee Hill Award” on Thursday. The honor – which is named in remembrance of the late Mack Lee Hill, a tailback for the Chiefs who tragically passed away during his second season with the team – is presented to Kansas City’s top rookie or first-year player.

Rice caught 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns last season before hauling in an NFL rookie-record 26 receptions during the postseason. Fifteen of those catches picked up a first down, including a 13-yard catch on third down in overtime of Super Bowl LVIII that extended Kansas City’s game-winning drive.

These awards were voted on by the players themselves, representing a true composite of how the locker room felt about Mahomes and Rice throughout the year. Indeed, both players contributed to another unforgettable season for Kansas City in 2023, and with another world championship in the books, these individual honors are more than deserved.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shatters the silence with a fiery statement defending quarterback Patrick Mahomes: FULL STORY back-patrick-8ns0lu-yen123-d74897af6ade “What’s happening to him is a crime against football — a blatant betrayal of everything this sport stands for. How can people be so cruel? Criticizing a 30-year-old man who’s carried this entire franchise on his back, shows up every single week, gives everything he has, never asks for attention, never blames anyone — just tries to win for the Kansas City Chiefs? To me, Patrick Mahomes is one of the greatest quarterbacks this league has ever seen — and instead of tearing him down every time the team struggles, people should be standing behind him.” — Andy Reid
