In the Kansas City Chiefs locker room, Chris Jones is usually quiet and reserved, rarely joining in the jokes and conversations among the players.

But this time, on NFLN, Jones uncharacteristically opened up.

"People should already know that Levi is a training maniac. In fact, during skill drills and training scrimmages, he’s just as crazy."

"He’s practically a nightmare for the defensive group. He and Coach Burns are most passionate about making our ground defense look like a joke."

"After every training session, our offensive line and linebacker coaches hold extra meetings, and all the players get completely chewed out."

"And guess what? Levi still stands in the back of the meeting room, enjoying our misery. Oh... an angel, Levi is an angel, our most beloved captain."

Hey, wait a minute, something feels off. What’s up with that last sentence?

The NFLN camera pans over, and the screen shows Levi standing with his arms crossed, smiling brightly as he watches Jones recording the show—

At this moment, standing under the spotlight, Levi looks completely composed and relaxed.

"Chris, keep going. We’ll... see you at training camp?"

Jones obediently places his hands on his knees, sits up straight, puffs out his chest, and adopts a proper posture with a baby-like expression, nodding as if butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth.

Clearly, the defensive players hold Levi in high regard. Last season, the pairing of Levi and Mahomes was undoubtedly every defensive group’s worst nightmare. The fact that they could form an offensive unit comparable to the 2013 Denver Broncos isn’t without reason.

But it wasn’t just the defensive group.

Even though the offensive group doesn’t have to contend directly with Levi, simply because they belong to the same side, they can better appreciate the excellence of Kansas City Chiefs’ ground offense and understand just how incredible Levi’s performances are.

The Carolina Panthers’ second-year running back, McCaffrey, has never hidden his admiration and awe for Levi, and that has been the case since Rookie Training Camp.

And it remains unchanged to this day.

"I believe Levi’s presence has shown the league new possibilities for running backs—not just running or receiving the ball, but also revitalizing the entire offensive group at a tactical level. He’s demonstrated through his actions that elite running backs and ordinary running backs play completely different roles in the game."

"I still have so much to learn."

"I like him. Can anyone not like him?"

In fact, very few people know that during this offseason, McCaffrey joined Levi’s training camp to work out alongside him. Since the camp was filled with big-name superstars, this news didn’t attract much attention.

Later, McCaffrey mentioned it.

"I reached out to Levi myself."

"I heard he was organizing a training camp, and I really wanted the chance to learn from the best of the best. So I dialed his number."

"Honestly, I was a little worried. What if he rejected me? But even if he did, I’d completely understand."

"To my surprise, not only did he agree, but he warmly welcomed me. And later, at the camp, he openly demonstrated everything and even actively helped me train. Honestly, he’s so perfect, it feels like he shouldn’t be in our league."

McCaffrey didn’t try to hide his fanboy feelings at all.

Atlanta Falcons star wide receiver Julio Jones also weighed in.

"There’s no doubt Levi is one of the most dominant players in the league right now. Even without the ’one of,’ I think there wouldn’t be much controversy."

"Let’s not forget—this is only Levi’s second professional season. The skills he’s showing now, along with his mental toughness in critical moments, stand out even in the league’s century-long history."

In response, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce agreed.

"Every time Levi takes the field, it’s like you can hear the adrenaline pumping. He’s not just a great running back; he’s also an outstanding leader and teammate who shows through his actions what unwavering determination can achieve."

"I think Levi is a transcendent player—someone who comes around once in a decade, or even once in twenty years." Adrian Peterson didn’t hold back his praise either. "His presence has transformed the league and inspired other running backs. We need to prove, through action, that running backs are still an indispensable part of the game."

Praise, praise, and more praise.

However, even though everyone knows Levi’s talent, social media went wild when quarterbacks started appearing in interviews too.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, with a sincere and humble expression, said, "Yes, I chose Levi. I think he’s the best player of the season."

"Why?"

"Personally, I really admire Levi’s versatility—not just as a running back but also as a wide receiver, offensive lineman, and even as a quarterback."

"Can you imagine a running back with pinpoint accuracy and a 100% pass completion rate? Maybe JJ can, but me? Definitely not."

Brees smiled broadly, subtly reminding everyone:

The Chiefs Special—everything leads back to Levi.

During Watt’s prime, not only did he wreak havoc as a defensive end, but he also stepped in as a tight end to complete receptions and touchdowns—a true jack-of-all-trades.

Levi’s no different now.

Being subtly brought up by Brees, Watt burst out laughing.

"No, I’m leagues apart from that rookie when it comes to versatility. You guys don’t know, do you? The rookie can also play as a linebacker. His tackling ability is exceptional."

Levi: ??? JJ, could you not spout nonsense? Other people might believe you!

"Why are you asking me this question?" Cleveland Browns defensive end Garrett looked utterly frustrated.

The 2017 No. 1 draft pick finally broke out in his sophomore season, making the Top 100 Players list at number fifty. Yet comparison is cruel, and placed alongside Levi, his accomplishments seem lackluster—

Wait, who? The 2017 No. 2 pick Mitchell Trubisky?

Ha ha.

Last season, the Chicago Bears experienced a strong resurgence. Under Coach Nagy’s leadership, they topped the National League North and made it to the playoffs, with Trubisky even earning a Pro Bowl backup spot. It seemed he’d finally shed his disgrace.

However, in the Top 100 Players list? Nowhere to be found.

The first pick and the third pick—they can at least compete. But the second? Forget it.

Trubisky: ... I did nothing to offend any of you!

Garrett wore a deadpan expression, wishing he could be as ignored as Trubisky. "Can I refuse to talk about that guy?"

"What? Voting? Yes, I voted for Levi, but..."

"God."

"Let’s put it this way—is he an excellent running back? Yes. Do I like him? No, not one bit."

"As a running back, his vision, speed, power, resilience, focus—everything about him is flawless. He effortlessly puts defensive groups in tight spots."

"But, hey, who really has the authority to evaluate him? I’ve yet to face him head-on, so I don’t think I’m qualified to speak about him."

"So, why don’t you ask the players who’ve actually gone head-to-head with him? They’d have more to say than I do. I don’t know, maybe Tom Brady?"

Brady: ...
