The final names on the NFL Top 100 Players list of 2024 were revealed on Friday. And while the list normally doesn’t turn a lot of heads, this year’s was an exception. The reason? Patrick Mahomes’ ranking.
Mahomes, who will turn 28 in September, has already posted a resume that few quarterbacks in NFL history could rival. He’s a two-time NFL MVP and a three-time Super Bowl MVP. He’s led the Kansas City Chiefs to three Super Bowl wins and four Super Bowl appearances over the last five seasons.
Yet, in the NFL Top 100 list, which is voted on by the players, Mahomes was ranked No. 4.
Ahead of him were San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey at No. 3, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson at No. 2 and Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill at No. 1.
As Nick Wright of Fox Sports detailed, all three of those players are on teams that Mahomes and the Chiefs beat in the postseason.
Of course, Wright was not the only pundit to question the rankings. Several who cover the NFL criticized Mahomes barely making it onto the NFL’s Mt. Rushmore for the 2024 season.
