The Kansas City Chiefs will be well represented this year at the 2025 Pro Bowl. 

Tight end Travis Kelce, center Creed Humphrey, defensive tackle Chris Jones, guard Joe Thuney, and guard Trey Smith were all selected as starters.

However, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was left off the roster and will serve as an alternate. This snaps his six-year streak of making the initial Pro Bowl roster. Instead, the three AFC quarterbacks selected were Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals, and Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens. 

Mahomes was joined by cornerback Trent McDuffie, linebacker Nick Bolton, fullback Carson Steele, defensive end George Karlaftis, punter Matt Araiza, linebacker Leo Chenal, and kicker Harrison Butker as alternates. 

All throughout the Pro Bowl voting period, Travis Kelce led. Despite his slow start to the season, he has picked it up to help the Chiefs clinch the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC. He currently ranks third among all tight ends in receptions (97), and fifth in receiving yards (823).  

This is Kelce's 10th Pro Bowl selection, while it's Jones' sixth straight. Meanwhile, Humphrey and Thuney have made their third-straight Pro Bowl. And then there's Smith, who was selected for the first time. 

The Ravens led the league with nine Pro Bowl selections, while the Chiefs were tied for the fifth-most in the league.

The Pro Bowl is set to take place on Feb. 2 in Orlando, Fla.
