KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t have any players named to the 2021 NFL All-Pro first team, but had two named to the second team.

Tight end Travis Kelce and defensive lineman Chris Jones received their sixth and third selection, respectively.

Kelce made the second team for the third time in his career. In 2021, the Pro Bowler caught 92 passes for 1,125 yards, his sixth consecutive season passing the 1,000 yard mark.

The former Cincinnati Bearcat was a unanimous pick in 2020, but was beat out by Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews this season.

For the second consecutive season, Jones made the All-Pro second team. Jones led the Chiefs defense with nine sacks this season, adding a forced fumble and 27 total tackles.

The Mississippi State alum is top-10 in franchise history in sacks with 49.5 in his career.

Five NFL players were voted unanimously:

WR Davante Adams – Green Bay Packers
