He\u2019s only 29 years old, and Mahomes has already\u00a0won three Super Bowls, in 2020, 2023 and 2024, and really become the Tom Brady of his generation.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the Chiefs are coming up on another season, and there\u2019s really no reason to believe it won\u2019t be similar to the past few years, in seeing the Chiefs pull off win after win and another trip to the big game. But, considering the Chiefs fell flat to the Eagles last season, did that impact Mahomes\u2019 standing at all?<\/p>\n<p>PFF also has a new feature out, published May 20, of their\u00a0quarterback rankings going into the new season \u201cbased on a combination of recent performance and career trajectory.\u201d For those who love the Chiefs, it\u2019s great to see where Mahomes stands.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 Patrick Mahomes is Still No. 1<\/h2>\n<p>In the piece, PFF names Mahomes the No. 1 best quarterback in the NFL, explaining that even though the team fell short against the Eagles last season, \u201cno one blends poise, playmaking and postseason performance like Mahomes, which is why he remains at No. 1 entering 2025, even if the field is closer than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, the good news comes with a caveat. PFF warns that even though \u201cMahomes still holds the top spot,\u201d that \u201cthe margin has never been slimmer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis passing grade over the past two seasons sits at 86.0, a strong number but a step below the elite level we saw from 2018 through 2022,\u201d they noted in the piece. \u201cThe supporting cast hasn\u2019t always helped, particularly at receiver, but it\u2019s fair to say his otherworldly level of play we saw from him from 2018 to 2022 is starting to get further and further away in the rearview mirror.\u201d\u00a0They conclude, though, that \u201che remains at No. 1 entering 2025, even if the field is closer than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, who came in at No. 2? It\u2019s\u00a0Joe Burrow\u00a0of the\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals, with PFF stating, \u201cthe only real knock on Joe Burrow is that he hasn\u2019t entered a season at full strength in years. But when he\u2019s right, there may be no one better.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>3 Important Chiefs Players in 2025<\/h2>\n<p>The Chiefs are hoping for another\u00a0record-breaking season\u00a0in 2025, and following\u00a0the NFL draft\u00a0and\u00a0NFL schedule release, PFF has released its tally of\u00a0each NFL team\u2019s three best players\u00a0of 2025. \u201cWhile quarterback remains the most important position in the sport, every roster has a core, the foundational players who will ultimately determine the ceiling and stability of a team in 2025,\u201d they note in the May 20 piece.<\/p>\n<p>They add that while some players are obvious heavy-hitters, some are not. So, let\u2019s get into their picks for the Chiefs in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>PFF highlights Mahomes, Chris Jones and Trent McDuffie as the three most important players on the squad. Travis Kelce isn\u2019t included, but he\u2019s obviously important, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMahomes continues to rank among the best in the NFL, with only Joe Burrow posting a higher cumulative (10.72) and per-season average (3.75) WAR over the past three years,\u201d they add.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will have some wind on his back after getting this good news ahead of the new season.
