BREAKING NEWS: 3 Chiefs named to NFLPA Players’ All-Pro Team

Kansas City’s players are well respected among their peers.

On Wednesday, the NFLPA announced their third-annual Players’ All-Pro team roster.

Three members of the Kansas City Chiefs received the honor: center Creed Humphrey, guard Joe Thuney and defensive tackle Chris Jones. The Baltimore Ravens are the only other club to have three players selected.

Humphrey has started every game since joining the Chiefs as a rookie in 2021. Now the league’s highest-paid center after a lucrative offseason extension, the honors keep coming for the Oklahoma product after receiving his third Pro Bowl selection last week.

Thuney was also named to the Pro Bowl Games for this season. While he has lined up next to Humphrey at left guard since joining the Chiefs in 2021, Thuney started three games at left tackle in the season’s final month. Where he lines up for the Chiefs in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs will be closely watched.

The interpretation of Jones’ season will be interesting. After the franchise legend returned to the Chiefs on a new contract this offseason, he only totaled five sacks. Advanced analytics, however, have seen his efforts more favorably, accounting for almost constant double (and often triple) team attention from opponents.

The Player’s All-Pro Team is voted exclusively by active NFL players — who vote both for the position they play and the positions they traditionally match up against. This means that Humphrey was potentially voted for by other centers, interior defensive linemen and off-ball linebackers.

Players are not allowed to vote for themselves or their current teammates, and missing five or more games renders a player ineligible for the honor.
