STATELINE, NV - JULY 08: NFL football player Patrick Mahomes talks to his caddie during Round One of the 2022 American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course on July 8, 2022 in Stateline, Nevada.
There are few individual awards in sports more coveted than being named an NFL MVP.
We'd be willing to bet that even your beloved Gram-Gram can name at least one NFL MVP from the past 10 seasons. Being so wildly popular and confident, how are NFL MVPs kept humble?
The answer is easy: golf.
The game that humbles everyone is the favorite off-the-field activity for hundreds of NFL players, but the game is very popular among past and current NFL MVPs.
Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning have all taken their gunslinging talents to the course and have teed it up for fans to see that they are in fact good at everything.
With Mahomes winning his third Super Bowl, take a look at NFL MVPs who love to tee it up.
