I was just asking myself this, and honestly… I think it’s been McDuffie. Dude looks like a cornerstone player.
I’m going to give a shout out to Drue Tranquill. This guy came in to a new defensive scheme, has been thrown into a critical starting role and has just absolutely crushed it.
Without Drue stepping up, this defense would have struggled. He’s my defensive MVP so far this season.
It’s Mahomes and it’s not close.
McDuffie is a stud - probably the best CB in the league. Mahomes, who is having a moderately down year by his standards, is the best QB in the world. There is no comparison.
Think about it - how many games would the Chiefs have won without Mahomes? Without McDuffie? They’d most likely be 1-8 or 2-7 without Patrick. Without McDuffie? 7-2 probably. Maybe 6-3.
