Pro Football Focus’ Steve Palazzolo released the 2018 edition of the quarterback rankings earlier this week, and Kansas City Chiefs first-year starter Patrick Mahomes checked in at No. 25.
Per Palazzolo: Expectations are high for Mahomes who had a strong showing in his only NFL start, last year in Week 17. He makes special throws, both inside and outside of structure, but the big question will be how many poor decisions he can avoid along the way. In 2016 at Texas Tech, Mahomes ranked second in the nation in big-time throws, but also second in turnover-worthy throws, perhaps an indication of a volatile style that will lead to plenty of fireworks given the explosive playmakers in Kansas City.
