Overview

  • Patrick Mahomes was selected as the NFL’s top quarterback for 2025 by both ESPN’s annual ranking of over 70 coaches, scouts and executives and by an Associated Press poll of eight writers.
  • In the ESPN survey, Mahomes secured about 60% of first-place votes, a decline from nearly unanimous support in previous years but still enough to lead the field.
  • The AP preseason poll, based on a 10-5-3-2-1 point system, awarded Mahomes five first-place votes, with Josh Allen earning two and Joe Burrow one.
  • Josh Allen finished second overall in both rankings after his MVP-winning season, with Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson in third and fourth places.
  • Analysts say the distribution of votes reflects increasing recognition of Allen, Burrow and Jackson, signaling a tightening competition at the quarterback position.
