Patrick Mahomes has once again been named the NFL’s top quarterback heading into the 2025 season, according to ESPN’s panel of league insiders. This marks the third year in a row, and the fifth time in the last six seasons, that Mahomes has taken the top spot in the rankings.
Still the Standard at Quarterback
A group consisting of NFL executives, coaches, and scouts participated in ESPN’s annual quarterback poll. Their top choice was unanimous: Patrick Mahomes. Despite new stars emerging around the league and young quarterbacks rising fast, Mahomes remains the player others are measured against.

Since becoming a starter in 2018, Mahomes has continually redefined elite quarterback play. His blend of arm talent, leadership, and clutch performances has made him the gold standard. No surprise that league insiders continue to put him at the top.
A Run of Dominance
What makes this streak even more impressive is the consistency Mahomes has shown at the highest level. In an era defined by constant change and intense competition, he's been the one constant, guiding the Kansas City Chiefs to deep playoff runs and maintaining individual excellence.
While critics sometimes point to occasional slow starts or roster turnover around him, Mahomes has repeatedly responded with dominant play when it matters most.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As the 2025 season approaches, Mahomes and the Chiefs are again among the favorites to win it all. With a reloaded offense and one of the league’s sharpest minds in Andy Reid on the sidelines, expectations are as high as ever.
And if the experts are right, Mahomes isn’t just entering the season as the best quarterback, he may be about to add more hardware to his already legendary resume.
