Patrick Mahomes is currently rehabbing after surgery from a torn ACL which occurred with just a few weeks left in the NFL season.

The Kansas City Chiefs were fighting to make the playoffs, but have officially been eliminated and Mahomes is watching the final games on the sideline.

With two games remaining in the regular season and the Chiefs coming off their fourth straight loss, the NFL announced the final Pro Bowl voting results for the 2025 season.

Mahomes has been left off the Pro Bowl roster for the second consecutive season. Despite having a great year, impact the Kansas City Chiefs' offense in the air and on the ground, Mahomes won't be considered an All-Star in the eyes of the NFL.

Mahomes finished the regular season with 22 touchdowns and 3,587 yards, completing 62.7% of his pass attempts.

The Chiefs quarterback was also forced to impact the run game, some of which has to do with Kansas City's offense struggling with consistency and running back Isiah Pacheco missing time due to injury.

Mahomes posted five touchdowns and 422 yards on the ground for the Chiefs. It's his most rushing touchdowns in a season in his career.

The Chiefs star also finished No. 15 in passing touchdowns and No. 7 in passing yards.

The last time Mahomes made the Pro Bowl was 2023, when he was also ranked at No. 7 in the AP MVP award at the end of the season.
