As the 2024 NFL season approaches, CBS Sports is breaking down the top players at every position to see who stands as the best of the best heading into the new campaign. 

There was no surprise which player ranks highest amongst all quarterbacks, with that spot going to back-to-back Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs. The quarterback he beat in the championship — San Francisco 49ers’ Brock Purdy — was right behind him at No. 2. Speaking of the Niners, they also roster the top running back and the top tight end this year, and it’s the Vikings who have the top wide receiver in the league.
