According to the annual NFL poll on ESPN, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes reminded the rest of the league why he’s still the top player at his position.
Mahomes finished the 2023 season with 4,183 yards passing and 27 touchdowns, playing through tough offensive outings on the way to another AFC West division title. He silenced many doubters in the postseason by winning two road games, a third Super Bowl MVP, and securing the Chiefs’ third Lombardi Trophy in five years.
“When it’s late in a meaningful game and Mahomes is playing, you just know he’s going to find a way to win,” an NFC executive said in Fowler’s article. “That’s the stage he’s at that a lot of the greats get to — they figure out how to win the game and get it done. The game’s slowed down for him in that way.”

The quest for a three-peat will dominate the headlines for the upcoming season as Mahomes attempts to do what none of the other great quarterbacks have done in their careers. The star quarterback is still under 30 years old, and barring early retirement, he should continue to add to his unprecedented career resume.
