KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With NFL training camps weeks away and the preseason a month away, over 50 executives, coaches, scouts and players were surveyed by ESPN to rank the top 10 players at 11 different positions.
Obviously, with any top 10 lists involving football, the quarterback position will immediately catch the eye of Chiefs fans as they boast one of, if not the best in the NFL.
Mahomes was ranked second, right behind Aaron Rodgers. This is the second straight year Mahomes was ranked number two. Mahomes has continued to have unprecedented individual success heading into his fifth season as the Chiefs signal-caller.
The number two ranking should be added motivation for Mahomes, who dealt with early season struggles last season and lost his best receiver in the offseason.
The Chiefs will be set to begin training camp in a few weeks as rookies and quarterbacks will report July 22, with everybody else reporting July 26.
