ESPN’s latest survey of 50 league executives, coaches, scouts and players places Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes among the elite tier of quarterbacks in the NFL.
Only back-to-back NFL MVP and Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers received a higher ranking than Mahomes. Voters provided a list of their 10 best players at the QB position, with ESPN ranking candidates based on the number of top-10 votes, composite average, interviews and film analysis from ESPN’s Matt Bowen. This is the second consecutive year that Mahomes has been ranked as the No. 2 quarterback in the league.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Mahomes fell into the top-5 of this ranking by “a wide voting margin.” The primary concern with Mahomes heading into the 2022 NFL season seems to be centered around the team trading Tyreek Hill, but NFL executives don’t seem to be too concerned at all.
