Preseason accolades have already started piling up for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was ranked as Fox Sports NFL’s top signal called in the league ahead of the 2023 season on Wednesday.

This should come as no surprise to fans given that Mahomes is the league’s reigning MVP and has a shiny new Super Bowl ring to show for his efforts in 2022. It seems that the soon-to-be 28-year-old quarterback is leaps and bounds ahead of any competition he might have for the superlative title of “NFL’s best” given his production and ability to win games on the biggest stage.
For his part, though, Mahomes seems to be entering the 2023 season with the same underdog mentality that motivated him to find success in years past. He and the Chiefs will have a massive target on their backs as they endeavor to defend their Super Bowl LVII championship, and it will take another stellar campaign for Mahomes to end the season atop FOX’s Sports NFL’s best quarterback list in February 2024 after the playoffs.
