Mahomes is no longer a unanimous Tier 1 QB for the first time since 2022; one GM placed him in Tier 2, citing concerns about his ability to carry the team without a run game, his scramble rate climbing to a career-high 9% last season, and questions about whether he will deteriorate physically coming off a torn ACL. The GM noted the Chiefs were not as impressive in one-possession games in 2025 compared to their historically lucky 2024 season, and questioned whether Mahomes' mobility will hold up.
