Patrick Mahomes is entering the 2020 season with a Super Bowl ring, a Super Bowl MVP trophy, and the richest contract in NFL history, yet he’s not considered the best player in the league.
The top 10 spots on the NFL’s Top 100 Players list were released on Wednesday night and caused a stir on social media. Mahomes, who also won the 2018 MVP award, was not the number 1 player on the list. Instead, that was given to Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who was the 2019 MVP.

Mahomes noted his ranking in fourth place.
Russell Wilson and Aaron Donald were also ranked above Mahomes. Wilson is the only player in the top four who has a Super Bowl ring.

Mahomes was not alone in his unfavorable reaction to the list. Earlier this week, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen proclaimed he is a better wide receiver than Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Unlike Allen, ranked at the bottom of the list, Mahomes has the accolades and statistics necessary to be considered the best soccer player. Last season alone, Mahomes missed just four games after dislocating his kneecap and ultimately led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory.
