Patrick Mahomes remains atop Nick Wright’s Week 1 quarterback rankings
The FOX Sports analyst has ranked 28 quarterbacks ahead of Week 1, with four left outside his “Mahomes Mountain” assessment.
Patrick Mahomes remains at the top of Nick Wright’s Week 1 NFL quarterback rankings, retaining his position on the FOX Sports analyst’s “Mahomes Mountain”.
Mahomes is set to lead the Kansas City Chiefs against the Denver Broncos, with the ranking offering an assessment of the quarterback landscape ahead of the opening round. The segment takes its name from Mahomes’ consistent place at the summit.
Wright reduced his preseason field from 32 quarterbacks to 28. Geno Smith, Tua Tagovailoa, Jacoby Brissett and Deshaun Watson were left outside the ranking, with Wright identifying Smith as the most likely of the four to make the list.
The remaining quarterbacks were arranged across seven tiers, including “Fans Believe”, “Polarising Players”, “Teams Are Content” and “Unquestionably, Great Resumes”. Wright’s categories reflect his own evaluation rather than an official NFL standing.
Mahomes is returning after a reported season-ending torn ACL sustained nine months earlier. Wright’s ranking places the quarterback in position to reinforce his status when the Chiefs begin their Week 1 campaign, although the complete order of all 28 players cannot be verified from the supplied material.
