On Tuesday, football analytics site Pro Football Focus released its 2025 preseason quarterback rankings — with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at No. 1.

1. PATRICK MAHOMES, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Mahomes still holds the top spot, but the margin has never been slimmer. His passing grade over the past two seasons sits at 86.0, a strong number but a step below the elite level we saw from 2018 through 2022. The supporting cast hasn’t always helped, particularly at receiver, but it’s fair to say his otherworldly level of play we saw from him from 2018 to 2022 is starting to get further and further away in the rearview mirror.
