Chiefs React to Patrick Mahomes' NFL Top 100 Ranking

Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, has been plagued by an injury-plagued 2025 season, culminating in a torn ACL that ended his year in Week 15. This unfortunate turn of events left the Chiefs with a 6-11 record, their first non-playoff finish since 2014. Despite this, Mahomes' NFL peers continue to regard him as an elite talent.

On Tuesday, Mahomes was named the No. 18 player in the 2026 NFL Top 100 rankings, as decided by his NFL teammates. The Chiefs responded to this accolade on social media, with the team noting their pride in sharing his spot on this annual list. Before his devastating injury, Mahomes had already made a strong case for his standing among the league's elite.

He had a completion rate of 62.7%, throwing for 3,587 yards, 22 touchdowns, and just 11 interceptions. Additionally, he rushed for a career-high 422 yards during his brief time on the field. Currently, Mahomes is ahead of schedule in his recovery and is anticipated to return to action for the Chiefs' season-opening Monday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos on September 14.
