Patrick Mahomes, 24, is now the third African American quarterback to win a Super Bowl and the youngest quarterback to be named MVP of a Super Bowl. - NBCBLK
“He’s a game changer, a conversation changer,” said Michael Christian, 59, a retired bank executive from Northern Virginia who follows the NFL and African American players. “He is an amalgamation of everything before him. The result of past struggles, minds opened, opportunities afforded, institutional change at the high school, college and pro levels.
Mahomes said in the days before the Super Bowl: “The best thing about it is you’re showing kids that no matter where you grow up, what race you are, that you can achieve your dream. For me, being a black quarterback—having a black dad and a white mom—it just shows that it doesn’t matter where you come from.”
Williams was even better than Mahomes or Wilson in his Super Bowl victory in 1988, when he threw for 340 yards and 5 touchdowns — including four in a record-breaking second quarter — in leading the Washington Redskins over the Broncos, 42-10. Williams became the first black quarterback to win a Super Bowl, and he did it standing in the pocket and delivering picturesque passes to his receivers.
Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson was unanimously named this season’s Most Valuable Player over the weekend, a distinction he earned while dominating as a runner and as a passer.
