Six Chiefs land on CBS Sports reporter’s ranking of top 100 NFL players of 2020
Some aspects of ranking the top 100 players in the NFL are more simple than others.
So says CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco, who took on the challenge of choosing the best players of 2020.
“The easiest player to slot was Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He is the top player in the league after leading the Chiefs to the Super Bowl victory over San Francisco,” Prisco wrote. “After that, the list is challenging.”
Five other Chiefs made the ranking: tight end Travis Kelce, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz, defensive lineman Chris Jones and defensive back Tyrann Mathieu. All were among the top 43 players on the list, with Hill at No. 43.
About Jones, Prisco wrote: “The postseason, even battling through injuries, showed what a force he could be. The Chiefs did the wise thing to put the franchise tag on him this season.”
As for Schwartz, Prisco wrote: “He’s consistently been one of the best right tackles in the league and the best of the Chiefs offensive linemen. He excels in pass protection, but he’s also good in the run game.”
