Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes recently received another confirmation that he is currently the most popular player in the NFL.

The league revealed on Thursday that Mahomes currently leads all players in Pro Bowl voting, having received 206,525 fan votes up to this point. Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is in second with 203,444 votes, while Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook received 188,767 votes.

The top five is rounded out by Tennessee Titans Derrick Henry (185,494) and Mahomes’ teammate and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (185,218 votes).

Despite not having a single player in the top 10 vote-getters, the Pittsburgh Steelers are still on pace to have the most Pro Bowlers. The Steelers’ players received the most votes overall, putting the franchise in front of Kansas City, Seattle, Green Bay, and Buffalo.

The fans will be able to vote for their favorites until December 17th, and their votes will make up for one-third of the decision on the 88 players that will make the Pro Bowl this season. Players and coaches will contribute with the remaining two-thirds of the equation.

The official Pro Bowl roster will be confirmed in late December before the playoffs kick off.
