2025 NFL QB Power Rankings: Rating all 32 starters before minicamp | FOX Sports
1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
Mahomes might not finish the season with a stellar record, but his individual performances will look a whole lot prettier than last year. The Chiefs invested in the left tackle position in both free agency (Jaylon Moore) and the draft (Josh Simmons). I’m willing to bet that position holds solid throughout the season. If the line keeps it together and the young wideouts (Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy) continue to ascend, Mahomes can finally do more with his offense. Which means he’ll be the best QB in the NFL again.
Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs
Age When 2025 Playoffs End: 36
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is already a first-ballot Hall of Famer and might have retired in February had he won his fourth Super Bowl. He already has three rings to go with 12,151 regular-season receiving yards, 2,078 postseason receiving yards and 10 Pro Bowls.
However, a win over the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX would have made Kansas City the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. That didn’t happen, of course, and we may never know how seriously, if at all, the 35-year-old pondered retirement.
Now, Kelce is back at work and preparing himself for his 13th NFL season.
“The way he’s talking about football. The way he’s talking about working and trying to be even better this year than he was last year.

While Kelce may be preparing like he always has, it’s fair to wonder if he can still play like it, too. He’s seen a dip in statistical production in each of the past two years and caught just three touchdowns in 2024—his lowest total since becoming a starter in his second season.
Now entering the final year of his contract, the 10-time Pro Bowler may indeed make 2025 his last run, especially if the Chiefs again manage to win the Lombardi Trophy.
If there’s a franchise practically guaranteed to be in the championship mix in any given year, it’s Kansas City.

How much of a participant can Josh Simmons be?
The Chiefs drafted Simmons in the first round this year to solve their long-standing problem at left tackle, even though he’s coming off a torn patellar tendon injury.
If Simmons is a full participant, that bodes well for his chances to...
