Kansas City Chiefs

Chiefs players rank well in (most of) PFF’s top 101. But where is Patrick Mahomes?

Pro Football Focus has revealed 91 of its top 101 players for the 2024 NFL season, and three Chiefs are on the list.

With the top 10 “coming soon,” per the PFF website, these Chiefs have already gained a spot:

Cornerback Trent McDuffie is ranked No. 16 and is noted for having a 68.5% lockdown rate.

At No. 39 is ... Patrick Mahomes.

Here is the PFF comment on Kansas City’s superstar quarterback:

“After ranking in the top five of the PFF 101 in each of the previous two seasons, Mahomes saw a notable dip in production and impact during the 2024 campaign, leading to a slight slide.

“However, he remains one of the best in the game at limiting mistakes — one of the most valuable traits a quarterback can have — ranking in the 82nd percentile in avoiding negative plays.”

Mahomes is listed behind Jayden Daniels (No. 20), Justin Herbert (33) and whoever else makes the top 10. He is ranked ahead of Baker Mayfield (63) and Jalen Hurts (91).

At No. 46 is versatile Chiefs offensive lineman Joe Thuney. PFF notes he’s been among the NFL’s 10 highest-rated guards for the past seven years.
