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.

It would be pretty hard to imagine quarterback Patrick Mahomes representing any other team than Kansas City Chiefs at this point. But according to Mahomes himself, the prospect of him ending up elsewhere was quite real.

During a chat with reporters on Wednesday, Mahomes said that the New York Jets seemed “pretty interested” in him ahead of the 2017 NFL Draft. One of his pre-draft visits included the Jets, who owned No.6 pick, and he left the meeting feeling confident.

“I thought there was interest there,” said Mahomes, speaking at a press conference ahead of Chiefs’ Week 8 game against the Jets. “Whenever you get on those visits, you know that they’re pretty interested in doing their due diligence.”

For whatever reason, the Jets decided to pass on Mahomes, picking safety Jamal Adams instead. This allowed Kansas City Chiefs to trade up to No.10 and select the Texas Tech signal-caller, and the rest is pretty much history.

While Adams turned out to be a fine player, he definitely isn’t a franchise-altering piece like Patrick Mahomes is. The fact that Adams isn’t even playing for the Jets anymore and that Mahomes already led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl is the perfect indicator.

Crushing records and reaching important marks is becoming a thing of habit for the Kansas City Chiefs signal-caller Patrick Mahomes. And each achievement seems to be more impressive than the past.

Mahomes added to his already long list of accomplishments on Monday night, when he helped the Chiefs to a statement 20-34 win over Baltimore Ravens on the road. In that game, the 25-year-old Mahomes became the fastest player to reach 10,000 passing yards in the history of the NFL.

Mahomes needed 34 NFL games to reach the mark, beating the previous record held by legendary Rams’ signal-caller Kurt Warner. Warner got to 10K in 36 games.

Mahomes finished the game against Baltimore by completing 31 out of 42 pass attempts for 385 yards and four touchdowns.

“The sky’s the limit for this kid,” said Mahomes’ wide receiver Sammy Watkins said. “He’s a special, rare breed of talent.”

After leading the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory last season, Patrick Mahomes isn’t showing signs of stopping down this year either. Three games into the season, Mahomes already has 898 passing yards and nine touchdowns without any interceptions. Kansas City won all three contests with an average 7-point margin.
