Who Are Peyton Manning's Top 5 QBs?

Peyton Manning is one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, so it's fair to say that he knows a thing or two about the position.

When he recently appeared at Fanatics Fest , the legendary field general listed who he believes are the top five quarterbacks in the NFL.

To nobody's surprise, the first quarterback he picks is Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes.

"Quarterbacks need to be coached hard," Manning said. "Andy Reid coaches Patrick Mahomes hard. That's good for Patrick, but that's bad for NFL defenses."

Mahomes had a bit of an off-year this past season - by his lofty standards, that is - but he was still able to lead the Chiefs to their second straight Super Bowl.

He finished with just under 4,200 passing yards and 27 touchdowns on a solid 67 percent completion number. None of his receivers finished with over 1,000 yards, but that came as a result of him spreading the ball around.

The full Manning list, starting with Mahomes on top …

• Patrick Mahomes

• Joe Burrow

• Justin Herbert

• Lamar Jackson

• Josh Allen

Mahomes will be looking to lead the Chiefs to their third straight Super Bowl, and that will definitely prove Manning's list correct.
