Patrick Mahomes snagged the No. 18 spot on this year’s NFL Top 100 list, making him the fourth Kansas City Chiefs player revealed so far. The league dropped the news on their official X account, and honestly, for a guy like Mahomes, that number feels a little… off, right?
Chiefs Are Rolling In, But Kelce’s Drop Is Wild
Chiefs players have been trickling onto the list, with center Creed Humphrey popping up at No. 94 earlier this summer. Then came tight end Travis Kelce at No. 79, and defensive tackle Chris Jones landing at No. 43. But wait, Kelce at 79? Last year, he was chilling up there at No. 5! That’s a massive tumble for one of the best in the game, and it makes you wonder what’s going on with these rankings.
Creed Humphrey Knows The Real Mahomes
You wanna know how wild Mahomes’ No. 18 ranking is? Just listen to what his own center, Creed Humphrey, had to say about him. Humphrey isn’t just praising him, he’s basically saying Mahomes defies physics every single Sunday. “It feels like every week, when we go back and watch the film after a game, there are two or three plays where you watch and say ‘I don’t even know how that’s possible.‘” Seriously, how do you rank a guy doing the impossible at No. 18? Humphrey straight up called him “The best there is” and talked about his “incredible” leadership and competitive drive. Those aren’t words you throw around for a middle-of-the-pack guy, you know?
It’s a safe bet that Mahomes is the last Chief we’ll see on this year’s list. The NFL is still dropping two players a day on X, building up to the top 10 reveal on NFL Network from August 24 through September 4. Will the top 10 have more surprises than Mahomes at 18? We’ll have to wait and see, but that No. 18 spot for Mahomes is definitely gonna be a talking point for a while.
