For the second consecutive season, a pair of Kansas City Chiefs players have received the ultimate honor from their peers.

In 2022, the NFLPA sought to give players a voice to help determine who are truly the best players in the NFL by creating their own All-Pro team as voted on by the players. They're continuing that tradition with the 2023 NFL season now concluded, with their second-ever NFLPA All-Pro team.

The rules for voting on this All-Pro team are simple:

Only active NFL are allowed to vote and they only get a single vote.
If a player missed five or more games as of Week 15, they’re considered ineligible for voting.
Players are not allowed to vote for themselves or their teammates.
Players can only vote for the positions they play in and line up against.
Core special teamers were nominated by player leaders from each team.

Last year, the Chiefs had four players selected. This time around they only have two players selected, one representing the team on offense and another representing the team on defense.

Travis Kelce

People will tell you this was a down year for Kelce, but they’re full of it. Kelce fell just shy of his eighth consecutive 1,000-yard season, appearing in just 15 games this season. He still finished the year with the second-most yards (984) and tied for second-most touchdowns (5) by a tight end. He came in third behind Evan Engram and TJ Hockenson for receptions (93).

Chris Jones

Jones finished the year with a triumphant 10.5 sacks, earning $1.25 million in contract incentives for at least 10 sacks during the regular season. This marked Jones’ fourth season with 10 or more sacks. Jones also led the Chiefs in pressures, despite missing the Week 1 game against the Lions due to a contract holdout. Even as he approaches the wrong side of 30, Jones is as dominant as he’s ever been.
