Patrick Mahomes reacts to being ranked second in NFL QB poll

Patrick Mahomes isn't concerned about being ranked second in ESPN's annual NFL quarterback poll. The Kansas City Chiefs star accepted the ranking, citing his recovery from an ACL injury and a subpar season by his standards.

Why Mahomes was ranked second

The ESPN poll, which surveys NFL executives and coaches, placed Mahomes behind Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Mahomes acknowledged the reasoning, telling Yahoo Sports Daily, 'You understand it, I mean, coming off injury. We didn't play as well as we wanted to the last few years.'

Mahomes' perspective on the ranking

Despite the drop, Mahomes remains one of the NFL's elite quarterbacks. He emphasized the competition, saying, 'There's a lot of good quarterbacks on that list. I'm just happy to be a part of it.' The three-time Super Bowl winner remains confident in his ability to reclaim the top spot.

What's next for Mahomes?

The Chiefs will look to bounce back in the upcoming season. Mahomes' focus is on regaining his form and leading his team back to the playoffs. With his talent and experience, he remains a formidable force in the NFL.
