Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II Voted NFL's Top Cornerback by AP

DENVER COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 15 – Dan Orlovsky said Mahomes' 2024 stats and Super Bowl loss weaken his top spot as Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Lamar Jackson post stronger seasons, per recent NFL polls.

  • Speaking on ESPN’s Get Up, Dan Orlovsky said the gap between Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen and Joe Burrow is razor thin, but those three haven't delivered their best when it mattered, according to him.
  • In 2024, Mahomes threw for 3,928 yards and had 36 sacks, and his Super Bowl LIX outing was poor, according to reports.
  • The executive and coach poll showed, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, that the majority of league executives, coaches and scouts ranked Mahomes first, but `grip on the top spot is loosening slightly`.
  • In a separate endorsement, NFL executive told Fowler that Mahomes is still the best quarterback in the league, while others believe his grip on the top spot is loosening.
  • Looking to 2025, Mahomes needs better pass protection, with the first preseason look at the Chiefs' offensive line on August 9 against the Arizona Cardinals and the left guard spot remaining uncertain.
