The 2025 season is just a few months away, and in Pro Football Focus’ recent rankings of the top quarterbacks in the league entering the campaign, Patrick Mahomes checked in at No. 1.
It was familiar territory for Mahomes, who has landed in the top spot in at least five of the last six years. The folks at PFF either didn't complete or removed their quarterback rankings ahead of the 2022 season, but other than that, Mahomes claimed the No. 1 spot in 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2024.
Now entering his ninth year in the NFL (and his eighth year as the Chiefs' starter), Mahomes is coming off a season in which he threw for 3,928 yards and 26 touchdowns. He led Kansas City to victory in 17 of his 19 starts, guiding the Chiefs to the Super Bowl for the fifth time in his career. In fact, through seven seasons, Mahomes – remarkably – has never finished shy of the AFC Championship Game.
Here's a portion of PFF's analysis from this year's article:
"No one blends poise, playmaking and postseason performance like Mahomes, which is why he remains at No. 1 entering 2025."
