On Tuesday, quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the fourth Kansas City Chiefs player to be revealed on this year’s “NFL Top 100 list.” The league revealed Mahomes as the No. 18 player on its official X account.
Center Creed Humphrey came in at No. 94 earlier this summer, tight end Travis Kelce at No. 79and defensive tackle Chris Jones at No. 43.

Last year at this time, Mahomes was ranked No. 5 on this annual list.
Over the years, the NFL has unveiled the “NFL Top 100” in various ways. In 2026, the league partnered with X and plans to announce two players each weekday leading up to the top 10, which will be unveiled on NFL Network from Monday, August 24, through Friday, September 4.
Creed Humphrey provided his input on his quarterback’s ranking.
“It feels like every week, when we go back and watch the film after a game, there are two or three plays where you watch and say ‘I don’t even know how that’s possible.‘”
“The best there is. Seeing his leadership and competitive drive, it’s incredible.”
It’s a safe bet to assume Mahomes’ entry on the list caps off the extent of Chiefs players in this year’s rankings.
