Chiefs’ Defense Shines Over Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce Following All-Pro Nominations

The 2023 NFL All-Pro First Team nominations are out. In total, 30 names have been listed. However, only three players are nominated from the Kansas City Chiefs this time for All-Pro First Team.

The Associated Press 2023 NFL All-Pro team was selected by a national panel of 50 members from the media. However, Chiefs’ fans were expecting QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce; surprisingly, they didn’t make it to the list. Instead, shining brighter than these two Chiefs’ players were “one from offense and two from defense.“

Who are the Chiefs stars selected to the All-Pro First Team?

The Chiefs had a fine season this time, with their fair share of weekly highs and lows. However, as they made the playoffs, the spotlight was again on Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. But it seems not for the All-Pro team this season. Instead of Mahomes and Kelce, three other players from the Red Army have made it to the much-awaited All-Pro First Team list.

Left guard Joe Thuney from the offense, interior defensive lineman Chris Jones, and cornerback Trent Mcduffie from the defense were listed as three nominations for the First Team. However, even though Mahomes and Kelce haven’t been nominated for the list, fans can still be happy for them, as both have already made it to the Pro Bowl list this season.

Meanwhile, QB Lamar Jackson has made it to the top of this All-Pro First Team list with 45 out of 50 votes. But who are the other players on the list?

Here are the players who made it to the First Team!

Besides the Chiefs’ Joe Thuney, Trent Mcduffie, and Chris Jones, these are the other players who are on the First-Team list of the season: Offense: RB Christian McCaffrey; FB Kyle Juszczyk; TE George Kittle; WR Tyreek Hill; WR CeeDee Lamb; WR Amon-Ra St Brown; LT Trent Williams; C Jason Kelce; RG Zack Martin; and RT Penei Sewell.
