In a recent preseason survey by The Associated Press, Patrick Mahomes retained his position as the top NFL quarterback despite facing more competition this time around compared to previous years. A panel of eight AP Pro Football Writers ranked Mahomes as the No. 1 quarterback entering the 2025 season, with Mahomes receiving five first-place votes. Reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen came in second with two first-place votes, followed by Joe Burrow who received the remaining first-place vote and landed in third place. Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts rounded out the top five quarterbacks in the survey. Mahomes, who led the Kansas City Chiefs to back-to-back Super Bowl titles in the 2022-23 seasons, is aiming to become just the fourth quarterback to win four Super Bowls. Allen, leading the Buffalo Bills to their fifth straight AFC East title, finished second in the rankings, while Burrow, who had a standout season with the Cincinnati Bengals, secured the third spot. Jackson and Hurts also made the top five, showcasing their impressive performances on the field.
