KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In a jaw-dropping development that’s sending shockwaves through the NFL community, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been ranked No. 6 on the NFL’s official Top 100 Players of 2025 list — and fans are NOT taking it lightly.
Cascos de la NFL
Despite leading the Chiefs to back-to-back Super Bowl victories and racking up MVP-worthy numbers in yet another historic season, the reigning king of football has shockingly slipped outside the top 5 — a move that many are calling “disrespectful,” “political,” and “flat-out insane.”
Wait… Mahomes Isn’t Top 3?!
The Top 5 reportedly includes:
- Joe Burrow
- Micah Parsons
- Jalen Hurts
- Justin Jefferson
- T.J. Watt
But no Mahomes until No. 6? Cue the firestorm.

NFL fans, former players, and even a few anonymous league insiders took to social media almost instantly. Some called it “an insult to greatness,” while others questioned whether “player voting bias” or even “Mahomes fatigue” is at play.

“What more does he have to do? The man’s rewriting history,” one analyst tweeted.
“Imagine winning two Super Bowls in a row and still being ranked behind someone who hasn’t even reached one,” another posted.
Mahomes Breaks Silence
In typical calm, collected fashion, Mahomes responded quietly, but his words hit hard:
“Rankings don’t win games. Trophies do.”

Boom. One sentence. One mic drop. One statement that says everything.

Is This Fuel for the Fire?
Inside the Chiefs locker room, sources say the ranking is already being used as bulletin board material. Teammates like Travis Kelce and Trey Smith were reportedly “fuming” after the list dropped, with one source saying the entire offense watched it together in stunned silence.
One team executive was overheard saying:
“They’ve just given him another reason to torch the league.”
Whether you love Mahomes or love to hate him, ranking him No. 6 after the historic run he’s had is nothing short of controversial. But if history has shown us anything, it’s this: the lower you rank Mahomes, the harder he comes back.

What do YOU think — is this a fair ranking, or pure disrespect?
