As Patrick Mahomes heads into his ninth season in the NFL, he has already carved out a place among the league’s elite. With three Super Bowl titles and two league MVPs under his belt, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is widely seen as the face of the NFL.

His resume—over 32,000 passing yards, 245 touchdown passes, and nearly 2,250 rushing yards—is proof of just how impactful he’s been since stepping into the starting role.

Patrick Mahomes finally addresses his controversial NFL Top 100 rank
Every year since 2011, the NFL has rolled out its Top 100 list, voted on by players themselves. Mahomes didn’t crack the rankings in his first two seasons, but ever since 2019, he’s been a constant presence in the top tier, even landing at No. 1 twice—once in 2021 and again in 2023.

Last season, he was slotted at No. 4, behind Christian McCaffrey, Lamar Jackson, and former teammate Tyreek Hill.However, Mahomes remains unfazed by where he lands on the list this time around. In a candid conversation with Kay Adams on the Up & Adams show, he made it crystal clear that individual rankings aren’t what fuel him.

“I mean, but I know it’s a year-by-year thing,” Mahomes said. “And so there’s a lot of great quarterbacks, a lot of great players in this league.

And they can rank me wherever they rank me. At the end of the day, all I’m trying to do is win Super Bowls. And I don’t care where I am on that list, no offense.”That mindset reflects the true spirit of a champion. While fans eagerly await to see where Mahomes will land on this year’s Top 100—which will be fully revealed by September 1—he’s already made it clear that winning rings is the only ranking he cares about.And he backs that up with action.

In the 2024 season, despite injuries to key offensive weapons like JuJu Smith-Schuster, Hollywood Brown, and Isaiah Pacheco, Mahomes once again led the Chiefs to the Super Bowl. Though Kansas City fell short of completing a historic threepeat, their dominance in the AFC remained unquestioned.Critics may debate the accuracy or relevance of the Top 100 list, but Mahomes’ place in NFL history is becoming undeniable. He’s now been to five Super Bowls and is often compared to Tom Brady—not just for the accolades but for his leadership and ability to perform in high-pressure moments.At the end of the day, no list can define Patrick Mahomes. His legacy is being written in real time—one Super Bowl appearance at a time.
