Roberto Alomar has been placed on Major League Baseball’s ineligible list following an investigation of a sexual misconduct incident in 2014. 

Alomar, who had been working as a consultant with MLB and was also a special assistant with the Toronto Blue Jays was immediately terminated from both roles.   The Jays, whom he won two World Series Titles with, announced that they will sever all ties with their former Second Baseman.  This includes removing a banner that honors his retired #12, and also his name from their ring of honor.  

The Baseball Hall of Fame, who inducted Alomar in 2011, will not be removing him.   He also will not be expelled by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, but they did state that they would not be inviting him to future events, nor will they do any work with his foundation.

Alomar played 17 seasons in a career spent with San Diego, Toronto, Baltimore, Cleveland, New York (NL), Chicago (AL) and Arizona.  

Mitchell Schwartz played his first four seasons with the Cleveland Browns, and while he did well, he was not in that upper tier of Right Tackles.  This would change when he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016 and would have one of the best four-year stretches of any Offensive Tackle in franchise history, although you would not know it based on his Pro Bowl amounts.

That number, by the way, is zero.

In Schwartz's first four years in Kansas City, he had Approximate Values of 12, 16, 20 & 16, and in the year he had 20 (2018), he was second in the NFL in this metric. While the Pro Bowl voters snubbed him, he was a First Team All-Pro in 2018 and a Second Team selection in the other three years.  The Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV, and Schwartz's contributions should never be discounted.

After only playing six Games in 2020 due to injury, Schwartz was released, and retired shortly after.  Pro Bowl or not, the Tackle had one of the best runs in Chief history, and hopefully, this is celebrated in the future.

Off-field arrests during his collegiate career at Oklahoma State forced Tyreek Hill to finish his college tenure at West Alabama, making NFL front offices hesitate on draft day. Recognizing his world-class track speed, Kansas City selected the explosive playmaker in the fifth round (165th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft—a decision that instantly reshaped Andy Reid’s perimeter offense and special teams units.

Hill made an immediate national impact during his rookie campaign as the league's most fearsome return artist. Leading the NFL with 592 punt return yards and returning two punts and one kickoff for touchdowns, he added 860 total scrimmage yards and 12 combined touchdowns to secure a Pro Bowl nod and consensus AP First-Team All-Pro selection as a return specialist.

As Patrick Mahomes stepped into the starting quarterback role, "Cheetah" fully transitioned into a dominant, primary wide receiver. Hill broke out with 1,183 receiving yards in 2017 before exploding in 2018 with 87 receptions for a career-high 1,479 yards and 12 receiving touchdowns—earning his second First-Team All-Pro nod as Kansas City advanced to the AFC Championship Game.

A clavicle injury sidelined him for four games during the 2019 regular season, but Hill remained a lethal big-play weapon when healthy. He capped off that campaign on pro football's biggest stage in Super Bowl LIV, hauling in nine passes for 105 yards—highlighted by a famous 44-yard catch on "Jet Chip Wasp" on 3rd-and-15—to spark Kansas City's dramatic fourth-quarter comeback victory over San Francisco.

Hill continued his aerial dominance over his final two seasons in Missouri, recording 1,276 receiving yards and a career-best 15 touchdowns in 2020 (earning a third First-Team All-Pro honor) followed by a franchise-record 111 receptions in 2021. In March 2022, Kansas City traded the star wideout to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a massive haul of five draft picks.

In Kansas City, Hill generated 479 receptions for 6,630 receiving yards, 719 rushing yards, 8,745 all-purpose yards, and 67 total touchdowns.

Before we tell the story of Patrick Mahomes, let’s set the stage as to why he is number one.

This is the multi-time MVP Quarterback (the most important position in football) who won the Super Bowl three times and was the MVP in all three.

When the Kansas City Chiefs traded up to pick Mahomes tenth overall from Texas Tech in 2017, everyone knew Andy Reid was acquiring a strong-armed quarterback. However, no one expected that sitting him behind Alex Smith for a full redshirt year would activate what is arguably the most talented quarterback in football history, immediately changing the course of modern professional football.

Taking the starting reins in 2018, Mahomes delivered a jaw-dropping debut that shattered conventional standards for young quarterbacks. He unleashed a dizzying array of sidearm slants, no-look passes, and off-platform lasers, putting together a legendary campaign with 5,097 passing yards and 50 touchdown passes. Joining Peyton Manning as the only players to reach those dual milestones in a single year, Mahomes walked away with NFL MVP honors and turned Arrowhead Stadium into the league's undeniable epicenter.

What sets Mahomes apart from every passer before him is a blend of supreme improvisation and lethal situational awareness. Operating behind an offensive line built for his style, he treats third-and-long like a routine walk in the park, systematically dismantling zone coverages before extending plays beyond the pocket. Defensive coordinators quickly learned that bringing pressure only fuels his genius, as his uncanny field vision turns broken plays into long-distance highlight-reel damage.

The individual statistical dominance translated directly into postseason hardware in short order. In 2019, Mahomes engineered three consecutive double-digit comeback victories in the playoffs, culminating in a fourth-quarter rally over San Francisco to secure Super Bowl LIV—Kansas City's first world title in 50 long years. He proved that the championship standard was no transient flash, returning to the big game the following season to cement the AFC's dominant hierarchy.

His second MVP campaign arrived in 2022, when he led the league with 5,250 passing yards and 41 touchdowns despite losing elite weapon Tyreek Hill in a high-profile offseason trade. Mahomes completely re-engineered his approach, picking defenses apart underneath with surgical precision, then gutted out a legendary performance despite a high-ankle sprain in Super Bowl LVII to capture his second ring and second Super Bowl MVP trophy.

In 2023, back-to-back titles became a reality as Mahomes led a resilient, defense-focused Chiefs team to the top again. Despite midseason offensive slumps, he relied on playoff experience and a strong connection with Travis Kelce, guiding Kansas City through tough road games in Buffalo and Baltimore. The journey culminated in Las Vegas, where he threw the game-winning touchdown in overtime against San Francisco during Super Bowl LVIII, earning the franchise’s third championship in five seasons and solidifying their dynasty.

Entering the 2024 campaign with historic three-peat ambitions, Mahomes again delivered clutch moments at critical times. Despite injuries testing the receiving corps, his unwavering leadership, quick decision-making, and late-game heroics led Kansas City to another impressive January run, demonstrating veteran maturity that kept the Chiefs firmly at the top of the NFL.

The 2025 season brought a rare taste of adversity and a stark reminder that even elite quarterbacks aren't immune to structural shifts. Battling offensive line reconfigurations and key injuries, Mahomes posted his first sub-.500 record as a starting quarterback. While he still generated over 3,500 passing yards and flashed moments of signature brilliance, the team struggled to find its usual rhythm, missing the postseason for the first time in his tenure.

Now heading into the 2026 NFL season at 30 years old, Mahomes faces a new kind of challenge: proving he can reset the standard and steer Kansas City back to the top of the AFC. Yet even with bumps in the road, his overall resume remains extraordinary. With two NFL MVPs, three Super Bowl rings, three Super Bowl MVP awards, and a mountain of franchise passing records, his place in gridiron royalty is already well secured.

With his prime years still stretching out ahead of him, Kansas City enters 2026 eager to see how Number 15 responds to his first true professional setback. If history is any indicator, betting against Mahomes to recalibrate Andy Reid's offense and launch a fierce bounce-back effort would be a mistake.

It won’t matter if he never catches the lead spot in Pro Bowls and All-Pros over some of the others.  Refer to the first two sentences.  This is the top dog on this team.
