The folks at Pro Football Focus have been gradually publishing their positional rankings ahead of the 2025 campaign, and now that they're complete, no team featured more players with a No. 1 ranking than the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kansas City landed three players atop PFF's various positional rankings, which sought to identify the top players at every position heading into next season: quarterback Patrick Mahomes, center Creed Humphrey and defensive tackle Chris Jones.

The Chiefs were one of four teams to feature multiple players with a No. 1 ranking, joining the Philadelphia Eagles (2), San Francisco 49ers (2) and Baltimore Ravens (2).

Here's how the rankings shook out:

Quarterback: Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs)

Running Back: Derrick Henry (Ravens)

Wide Receiver: A.J. Brown (Eagles)

Tight End: George Kittle (49ers)

Offensive Tackle: Jordan Mailata (Eagles)

Offensive Guard: Chris Lindstrom (Falcons)

Center: Creed Humphrey (Chiefs)

Defensive Tackle: Chris Jones (Chiefs)

EDGE: Myles Garrett (Browns)

Linebacker: Fred Warner (49ers)

Cornerback: Sauce Gardner (Jets)

Safety: Kyle Hamilton (Ravens)

The Chiefs nearly had a fourth player with a No. 1 ranking, too, as cornerback Trent McDuffie landed at No. 3 in PFF's positional rankings behind only Gardner and the Denver Broncos' Pat Surtain II.
