No surprise at the top with Mahomes ranked No. 1.
The Chiefs’ quarterback is coming off a 2022 campaign where he threw for a league-leading 5,250 yards and 41 touchdowns. Mahomes was voted MVP for the second time.
Mahomes led the Chiefs to the Super Bowl, where they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35. After trailing 24-14 at the half, Mahomes led the Chiefs to 24 second-half points to beat out the Eagles for his second Super Bowl victory.
Mahomes was named Super Bowl MVP for the second time.
Joe Burrow, Josh Allen Make Top 5
League evaluators see Josh Allen as a premier talent who, for 20 plays at a time, can be as good as Mahomes.
But inconsistency and a draining 2022 campaign kept him from the top two.
