The Kansas City Chiefs have their eyes on Super Bowl LIX, but several players could earn their first-ever Pro Bowl honors this season. 

The NFL will celebrate the league’s best players at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games in Orlando, Florida for the second consecutive year. On Sunday, Feb. 2, players will kick off the Pro Bowl Games with a multi-day AFC versus NFC competition, featuring Pro Bowl Skills challenges and a flag football game, led by head coaches Peyton and Eli Manning.

A total of 21 Chiefs players have a chance to earn Pro Bowl honors for the first time. Check out that list below:

  • WR Xavier Worthy (R)
  • FB Carson Steele (R)
  • TE Noah Gray
  • RT Jawaan Taylor
  • LT Wanya Morris
  • RG Trey Smith
  • LS James Winchester
  • P Matt Araiza
  • DE George Karlaftis
  • DE Mike Danna
  • DT Tershawn Wharton
  • DT Derrick Nnadi
  • LB Nick Bolton
  • LB Drue Tranquill
  • OLB Leo Chenal
  • CB Trent McDuffie
  • CB Nazeeh Johnson
  • SS Justin Reid

The Pro Bowl isn't what it once was, but selections will still matter in how players are viewed historically. Several Chiefs are multi-time winners or are competing for their second Pro Bowl honors. . . 


Kareem Hunt can do something special if he earns a Pro Bowl selection

Hunt has a chance to do something really cool. He has only earned one career Pro Bowl honor. That came in 2017, his rookie season with Kansas City, during which he led the NFL in rushing yards. 

He's not the only one competing to earn his next Pro Bowl honor. . . 

  • TE Travis Kelce can earn his tenth consecutive Pro Bowl selection.
  • QB Patrick Mahomes can earn his seventh consecutive Pro Bowl selection.
  • WR DeAndre Hopkins can earn his sixth career Pro Bowl selection and first since 2020. It'd also mark his first in Kansas City.
  • LG Joe Thuney can earn his third consecutive Pro Bowl selection.
  • C Creed Humphrey can also earn his third consecutive Pro Bowl selection.
  • RS Mecole Hardman can earn his first Pro Bowl nod since 2019.

How to vote for Chiefs players to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games

Fans can vote as often as they would like to help determine the 88-man roster and send the league’s best players at each position to Orlando for the Pro Bowl Games starting Monday, Nov. 25 until Monday, Dec. 23. You can vote at ProBowl.com/Vote or the Chiefs' official team site:

Social voting on X (formerly Twitter) begins during the final two weeks of voting (Dec. 9 – Dec. 23). Voting is simple. Either 1. Post the first and last name of the player.  2. Tag the player’s official X handle or 3. Create a hashtag including the player’s first and last name. All three of these methods must include the hashtag: #ProBowlVote.

Example: #ProBowlVote Patrick Mahomes

During the final two days (Dec. 22 – Dec. 23) votes on social will count as double.

The consensus tally of votes of fans, players, and coaches will determine who is selected for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games. Each group’s vote counts as one-third toward determining the all-star players who will be picked. NFL players and coaches will cast their votes on Friday, Dec. 27.
