NFL Players — 2026 Season Profiles
Featured Quarterbacks
Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes is widely regarded as the best quarterback in the NFL and one of the most talented players to ever play the position. Born on September 17, 1995, in Tyler, Texas, Mahomes played college football at Texas Tech before being selected 10th overall by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2017 NFL Draft. He took over as the starting quarterback in 2018 and has not looked back since, winning multiple Super Bowl championships and establishing himself as the face of the entire league.
What makes Mahomes so special is his ability to do things on a football field that simply should not be possible. He throws accurate passes from angles and arm positions that no quarterback in NFL history has been able to replicate consistently. He extends plays with his legs, keeping defenders guessing and giving his receivers extra time to get open downfield. He performs at his absolute best when the pressure is highest, earning a reputation as the most clutch quarterback of his generation.
Through 13 weeks of the 2026 season Mahomes has been every bit as dominant as advertised. He leads the NFL in passer rating and touchdown to interception ratio while continuing to find new ways to hurt defenses that try to gameplan specifically against him. The Chiefs remain the standard by which every other team in the AFC measures itself and that is almost entirely because of number 15.
2026 Season Stats: Passing Yards: 3,842 Touchdowns: 28 Interceptions: 7 Completion Percentage: 67.8% Passer Rating: 102.1
Josh Allen
Josh Allen is the most physically gifted quarterback in the NFL and the engine that drives everything the Buffalo Bills do on offense. Standing at 6 feet 5 inches and 237 pounds with a rocket arm and surprising speed and agility for a man his size, Allen represents the new prototype for what an NFL quarterback can be in the modern era of the game.
Allen was selected 7th overall by Buffalo in the 2018 NFL Draft out of the University of Wyoming. His early seasons showed flashes of the player he would become but were also marked by inconsistency and accuracy issues that had some analysts questioning whether he could develop into a true franchise quarterback. He answered every one of those questions emphatically starting in 2020 and has not stopped since, emerging as one of the two or three best players in the entire league regardless of position.
What separates Allen from most quarterbacks is his ability to take over a game as both a passer and a runner. He consistently produces 600 to 700 rushing yards per season and adds 5 or more rushing touchdowns on top of his passing production, making him one of the most complete offensive players in the sport. His arm strength allows him to make throws that simply are not in the playbook for other quarterbacks, and his competitiveness and leadership have made him the unquestioned heart and soul of the Buffalo Bills franchise and their fanbase.
2026 Season Stats: Passing Yards: 3,614 Passing Touchdowns: 27 Rushing Yards: 542 Rushing Touchdowns: 5 Total Touchdowns: 32 Passer Rating: 98.4
Featured Running Backs
Derrick Henry
Derrick Henry is one of the most physically imposing players in NFL history, and at 30 years old, he is proving that his best football is still very much ahead of him. Standing at 6 feet 3 inches and 247 pounds with the speed of a wide receiver and the power of an offensive lineman, Henry has been an unstoppable force in the NFL since entering the league as a second-round pick of the Tennessee Titans in the 2016 NFL Draft out of the University of Alabama.
Henry spent the first eight seasons of his career in Tennessee, where he established himself as the most dominant running back in the game, leading the NFL in rushing yards multiple times and becoming the eighth player in league history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season when he did so in 2020. After departing Tennessee as a free agent, he signed with the Baltimore Ravens ahead of the 2026 season, and the fit has been absolutely perfect.
In Baltimore, Henry has found a home that maximizes every element of what makes him so dangerous. The Ravens run the football more than almost any other team in the league, and having both Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry in the same backfield gives opposing defenses a nightmare problem that no one has found a consistent answer to all season long. Henry runs with the same violent, punishing style that made him famous in Tennessee and shows no signs of slowing down despite being in his tenth NFL season.
2026 Season Stats: Rushing Yards: 1,538 Rushing Touchdowns: 14 Yards Per Carry: 5.6 Receptions: 18 Receiving Yards: 142
Featured Wide Receivers
CeeDee Lamb
CeeDee Lamb is the best wide receiver in the NFL, and it is not particularly close at this point in the 2026 season. The Dallas Cowboys selected Lamb 17th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft out of the University of Oklahoma, and he has done nothing but exceed every expectation placed on him since the moment he arrived in Dallas. In just his fifth NFL season, Lamb has firmly planted his flag as the premier receiver in the game, putting up numbers that only a handful of players at the position have ever achieved.
What makes Lamb so exceptional is the completeness of his game. There is no weakness to attack in his skill set. He wins against press coverage with his physicality and quickness off the line of scrimmage. He wins against zone coverage with his route precision and ability to find soft spots and sit in the right areas to give his quarterback a clear throwing window. He wins after the catch with his vision, balance, and ability to make defenders miss in the open field. He wins in the biggest moments of the biggest games when the pressure is at its absolute highest.
Despite the Cowboys having a disappointing season as a team Lamb has been a beacon of consistency and excellence every single week. He has dealt with suboptimal quarterback play and an offensive line that has struggled at times to give his signal caller enough time to get him the football and yet he continues to produce at an elite level regardless of circumstances. He is the rare player who is so good that he makes his entire team look better just by being on the field.
2026 Season Stats: Receptions: 101 Receiving Yards: 1,320 Receiving Touchdowns: 12 Yards Per Reception: 13.1 Targets: 142 Catch Percentage: 71.1%
