Bizarre: Players make controversial choice for No. 1 spot in ‘NFL 100’

NFL Patrick Mahomes Chiefs Christian McCaffrey Super Bowl

In a bizarre turn of events on Friday night, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was ranked the No. 4 player in the NFL by his peers, who seem to have forgotten his accomplishments in recent seasons.

Mahomes, who is entering his seventh season as Kansas City’s starter, has already won three rings and became the first quarterback to win back-to-back championships since Tom Brady after the Chiefs’ overtime victory against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.

Instead of being recognized for his outstanding achievements, Mahomes was ranked behind 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, and Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill, who were all defeated by Kansas City in the postseason earlier this year.

Perhaps his peers are sick of hearing about Mahomes’ accomplishments, or maybe the value of winning championships has diminished since teams outside of Western Missouri stopped winning titles.

Either way, Mahomes is set to let his play do the talking for him ahead of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl defense campaign this season.
