CBS Sports’ Jason McCourty: Patrick Mahomes Should've Topped NFL 100 List | The Rich Eisen Show

NFL top 100 on NFL Network with Tyreek Hill being one and momes four um do you agree with that ordering of events Jason I mean well as soon as you see aist you see moms is at four it kind of just taints the list momes I think should be number one that doesn't mean Tyreek Hill isn't deserving to be all the way up there in the top if you want to put him at two put them at two what I love when this list comes out is I just love all the controversy surrounds it Jaylen Johnson took a shot at Aaron Rogers he called astray because he was 92 on the list and he didn't play and through my experiences in the league the NFL top 100 was always a mix pod of how guys felt because they'd come around you'd have the sheets where you had to put your 20 players on it and I remember one year Jacksonville the people came in they like Jacksonville they did an awesome job they filled out every sheet they were that year Jacksonville had about eight guys in the top 100 so there's always some conversations that always surrounds it but I mean Hill has been unbelievable since getting in Miami but with Patrick Mahomes I mean back-to-back Super Bowls you cannot have Cann not have that guy as a number one player but again what we were discussing at the top because you know uh Jason you know me you you know what what what I like to stand for here is to add a little Nuance to it as well the voting takes place mostly during the playing season though right before the playoffs correct and last year Tyreek right up until December was RedHot with the exception of that game against the Chiefs when he uh we had the the force the the ball ripped away from him and I think it was by Sneed and uh and then and then or McDuffy at any rate long story short is that led to the eventual go-ahead or game-winning score um he was on fire and momes was not does that really matter do is there a nuanced thought by voters in their heads about the current or do you look at the whole scope of everything where you would think Mom would be one right I mean without a doubt there is a Nuance to it because during the regular season we talked about the chief's offense you remember the December game where they're playing against the veg the Las Vegas Raiders and they give up two touchdowns on offense I think it was a pick six and a force fumble that got picked up and a touchdown so you got to put yourself I guess in the position of those guys if that's the time that they're coming into your locker room and you're watching the Chiefs you may not disrespect the Chiefs but you're like hey you know realistically this season Mahomes isn't having his best season but at the end of the day I think what we found out is you just don't go against that guy and I think that's one of those things that they redid the list at the end of the season you talk about it with the NBA all the time too as an MVP will come out during the regular season and someone catches fire and takes off in the playoffs and they're hoisting the trophy at the end of NBA champions and you're like well maybe the same thing was the MVP this year with Lamar Jackson we saw the season that Patrick Mahomes ended up finishing with but that didn't take away from Lamar so I think it's one of those tough things but the list comes out now and for everybody looking at a a list that includes football players and you're saying the top 100 of them and Patrick Mahomes isn't that number one if you got to put an asteris and say when the voting was it just takes away from the list yeah I know that uh and and again you know uh not much Nuance or gray area when somebody can use something to fuel their fire right Jason and you've been around you've been around some some greats in your 13 years of playing do you got a good story of being around somebody where you couldn't believe a teammate of yours or even if it's you utilize something uh that sounded that seemed off or weird or maybe not factual to fuel their fire you got a story like that from anybody I feel like I feel like that was Julian Elman every single week I feel like when we were playing with him and he was the type of guy that at the end of practice you bringing up in the Huddle especially on that team Brady may speak Matthew Slater may speak my brother Devon mccordi would speak but whenever Jules got in front and he was getting ready to say something it was just like everybody was all ears because you didn't know what direction this thing was going to go in he was the one right after Bill's talking and Bill would hype up whatever team we were playing they could have two wins on the season he's talking about how good of a football team and then Jules would come up right after and be like all right this is a trap game boys you're just like well bill just said they're good now you're saying we're in a trap game we're playing against a poor team Jules was that guy that no matter what he'd be going against a practice squad guy and he'd be in a pushing in a shoveling match because the practice squad guys had talk some trash to him on something that happened so he was a guy that no matter what he found something to motivate him he was probably still pissed off from from playing football with the golden flashes of being a quarterback to now being a receiver of what people said coming out on the draft so he was a fun guy to compete against every single day because you didn't know what type of mood he was gonna be in whatever makes you great right Jason you know whatever whatever you know doubt Jason McCord of CBS here on the Rich Eisen show so you know obviously CBS is uh mostly predominantly on the AFC side of the ball what are your thoughts on the Chiefs entering this three peat campaign and potentially being better what do you think about that idea here and it's crazy as you say potentially being better because defense they lost some guys specifically lerus sne in that secondary that I think somebody's gonna have to step up and take over because what he did on the defensive side of ball shutting receivers down last year was unbelievable but when you flip it over and you look at the offense and we're in that era now in training camp where we're always seeing the clips that come out Xavier Worthy is running down the field and it's a 50 yard bomb then Hollywood Brown is running down the field it's another bomb from Mahomes as he's rolling out to his left so you watch what they were able to do last year and now coming back where now you've equipped Patrick Mahomes with more weapons and more speed to get down the field and a guy like Travis Kelce who's been obviously the best tight end in the NFL for however long now now you just created more space on the offensive side of the ball for him to be able to work as he's getting older in his career so I look at the Chiefs and they're the team to beat in the AFC you can talk about Lamar Jackson you can talk about him adding uh Derk Henry you can talk about Joe burrow being healthy and all these different guys in AFC which is going to be fun to watch but when you're the king you're the king and that's Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs this upcoming season because they proved to us last year that having less on offense when it came down to it in the playoffs going on the road in Baltimore they were able to win that game on the play of momes and what he was able to do Nicole Harman caught the touchdown pass to win the Super Bowl I don't think anybody was thinking that that was going to happen as we watched him fall apart against the Raiders on Christmas Day and they still found a way to come up Victorious that's why he's the number one player in the NFL right Jason hey you said it catch the
