Chiefs to make pro bowl


Recommended Posts

Don't agree with OBJ but man having only one from the defense.... we need to get it fixed.

 

Pro Bowlers: Orlando Brown Jr., OT (4); Creed Humphrey, C (1), Chris Jones, DT (4). Travis Kelce, TE (8), Patrick Mahomes, QB (5), Joe Thuney, G (1), Tommy Townsend, P (1).

The seven selections match the Chiefs' highest total since 2013, when they sent 10 players to the Pro Bowl. They also had seven selections in 2016 and 2020. Mahomes is on pace for his second career 5,000-yard season and is a strong candidate for the league's MVP. Kelce was selected for the eighth time, tying him with Pro Football Hall of Famers Buck Buchanan and Willie Lanier for sixth most in franchise history. Jones is tied for seventh with 11 sacks and is tied for first among players who line up mostly at an interior line position. Townsend is second in average yards per punt at 51.8 and is first in net average at 46.5. The Chiefs had three offensive linemen chosen, including first-time Pro Bowl selections in Humphrey and Thuney.

Did you know? The Chiefs' three offensive line selections tie a team record set in 2003 and 2004, when guards Will Shields and Brian Waters and tackle Willie Roaf were selected. Shields and Roaf went on to become members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. -- Adam Teicher

Lot of young guys on D.  Keep building it through the draft and supplement in FA as needed.  Resign CJ.  Plan is already in place.  Need more pass rush around CJ.  Frankly it's not as far off as people think.

I dont think it's far off at all. I just feel like protecting Pat and giving him weapons will Trump d-line help. I hope they can do both.

It’s interesting to see OBJ make the pro bowl after just a mediocre season. With the coaches and players getting 2/3 off the voting you have to wonder if there really is trade value with him. Could we tag and trade him this off-season and get a decent haul back?  Maybe a second round pick?

We as fans tend to view him through the lens of our offense, but there are run first teams he would have value with.

Doubtful.  Giving up high draft picks and paying out big bucks for non-elite players doesn't seem to work.  OBJ may work himself into a top ten tackle with a healthy year and the right team, but he's no Trent Williams or Willie Roaf.

I agree with you. But there seems to be a different view inside the league.

Maybe the players vote for whomever benefits in contract negotiations for the following year? 

The selections do make some sense. 

1/3 of the vote from fans, players and coaches.

Fans vote for their team and players on their fantasy team and possibly names they've heard of

+

Players vote for friends and guys they've played against

+

Coaches vote for whomever their assistant fills out on the ballot

how we end up with funky selections
