Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes — once again — looks destined to take that crown.
Despite a down year by his standards in 2024 (3,928 yards, 26 TDs, 11 INTs), Mahomes delivered what counts—back-to-back Super Bowl appearances and another MVP-caliber performance. His competitive fire? Burned even hotter after a Super Bowl LIX loss, with Mahomes calling it a “bad taste” and pledging to let his play answer doubters, the-sun.com.
He has also leaned on Tom Brady’s mentorship in the offseason, reinforcing his mindset and leadership skills. With his talent and support system intact, Kansas City remains the gold standard.
But Mahomes doesn’t walk alone. Joe Burrow and Josh Allen loom large. PFF ranks Burrow second overall, backed by a jaw-dropping 93.5 passing grade over the last three seasons, according to pff.com and cincyjungle.com. Allen, fresh off his MVP 2024, is right in the elite mix.
Still, Mahomes’s blend of consistency, historical dominance, and disdain for losing separates him. His narrow yet sustained edge — despite his slight statistical dip — is proof that when it’s crunch time, he still delivers at the highest level.
Prediction: Mahomes reclaims top QB honors in 2025 — another MVP-level year with a return to Super Bowl glory. Burrow and Allen will chase hard, but the crown remains in KC.
