Despite winning a Super Bowl less than a week ago, the celebrating is over. Patrick Mahomes is already back in the Chiefs’ facility.

The 2018-19 NFL MVP and this year’s Super Bowl MVP has had a busy week. After leading a comeback against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Mahomes went to Disney World and also celebrated the win with his teammates. Wednesday’s victory parade drew an estimated one million people, with Mahomes and Co. shutting the city down.
After attending a concert with tight end Travis Kelce to cap off what was the party of a lifetime for the 24-year-old, Mahomes posted a video to his Instagram story on Friday morning. He’s now focused on next season:
Recovery will be an important part of Mahomes’ offseason. He battled several injuries throughout the course of this year, including a nagging sprained ankle that limited him in the first half of the year. After that, he dislocated his kneecap in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos — an injury that kept him out for the Chiefs’ next two games. He also suffered a hand injury in a late-season matchup against the New England Patriots.
Mahomes has reached that pinnacle with his first Super Bowl victory. Less than a week later, he’s already back in the facility, looking to launch a Kansas City dynasty.
