OTA stands for Organized Team Activities, and it\u2019s the time when NFL teams start to practice in an official capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs were in good company, because 20 NFL teams kicked off OTAs on Tuesday. Five additional teams will start on Wednesday, May 28, so the season, indeed, has started. Even though we\u2019re not close to the point or actually seeing contact football on the field, expect to see teams sharing plenty of highlights and photos from OTAs, so it will certainly feel like the season has kicked in.<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes turned quite a few heads making a grand entrance to the Chiefs\u2019 OTAs on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 Patrick Mahomes Makes an Entrance<\/h2>\n<p>The Chiefs shared a video of Mahomes walking into OTAs on Tuesday and captioned it, \u201cDay one of OTAs,\u201d with the note that it\u2019s year nine for Mahomes.<\/p>\n<p>Followers were quick to comment on the clip, many of them being surprised that it\u2019s already year nine for the quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMan\u2019s look like he hasn\u2019t touched a football all offseason,\u201d one commenter stated on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod\u2026.. Please don\u2019t remind me we\u2019re already in year 9. It\u2019s already going by too quickly,\u201d one stated on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy does Mahomes look like all of us back into the office after the holiday weekend lol,\u201d another one said, joking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMahomes on mission, so please just get this man a solid O line, and he will take you to a Super Bowl, it\u2019s pretty much guaranteed,\u201d another one said, adding that five \u201cSuper Bowl appearances before 30 years of age is just absurd, so please work that O line until it\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Patrick Mahomes Ranked No. 4 in QBs<\/h2>\n<p>Mahomes has nothing to prove at this point, but he\u2019s not ranked as high as one might think going into the 2025 season. In a May 7 piece from Bleacher Report, Mahomes is ranked the No. 4 best quarterback in the NFL ahead of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<p>In the piece, NFL analyst and expert Brad Gagnon even says he could have been lower on his tally. \u201cOn paper, Mahomes has been a mediocre quarterback since the start of the 2023 season,\u201d Gagnon states. \u201cSo, why is he still ranked fourth on this list?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Gagnon admits that Mahomes is \u201cone of the most accomplished and talented players in NFL history,\u201d so \u201che still gets some benefit of the doubt. And it helps that the two-time MVP has saved himself over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 29-year-old led an NFL-best five fourth-quarter comebacks and seven game-winning drives in 2024 alone, he posted a 110.4 passer rating on third down, and he again found a way to get the Chiefs to the Super Bowl,\u201d he continues. \u201cEventually, even that stuff won\u2019t be enough. Let\u2019s see if Mahomes can bounce back in his age-30 season and maintain his spot among the top tier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gagnon ranks Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills as the best quarterback in the league going into 2025. Why? He says that, \u201cAllen has been consistently spectacular for half a decade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anne Erickson Anne Erickson is an award-winning reporter for Heavy.com and Heavy Sports covering the NFL, NBA and college football.
