Just one year ago, Patrick Mahomes was the best player in the NFL according to his peers.
However, on this year’s list of the NFL Top 100, the Chiefs franchise QB saw himself slip towards the back of the top 10, landing at No. 8.
Mahomes endured the first slump of his career last season, but still finished with 4,839 yards and 37 touchdowns while tying his career-high for completion percentage.
The NFL world reacted to his ranking on social media.
“Me walking into the NFL headquarters to beat someone’s ass for ranking Patrick Mahomes #8,” a Chiefs fan tweeted.
“The [Patrick Mahomes] disrespect continues,” said Mark Gunnels. “#8? Place your Mahomes for MVP bets right now.”
“Mahomes might throw for 8,000 yards this season,” said Matt Verderame. “I get it’s for clicks, for views, all that stuff. Fine, fair enough. But this list is hilariously atrocious. Herbert, Allen and Mahomes should file a class-action suit.”
“[Patrick Mahomes is #8 on the NFL Top 100 list. Certainly a ‘Takes Notes’ emoji is coming,” remarked KC’s Harold R. Kuntz.
