The Kansas City Chiefs won’t be playing for a playoff spot this year, and team goals have taken a backseat as the regular season winds down. But even in a season where the win-loss column hasn’t gone their way, there’s still plenty of pride to be found in individual excellence. That’s exactly what the Pro Bowl selections reflect - and for Kansas City, there’s no shortage of elite talent still shining through.
Despite sitting at 6-9 with two games to go - including a Christmas Day matchup against the Broncos on a short week - the Chiefs had four players named to the 2025 Pro Bowl roster, with three more listed as alternates. That’s a testament to the high-caliber core still anchoring this team, even in a year that’s fallen short of expectations.
Let’s take a closer look at the Chiefs’ 2025 Pro Bowlers - players who continue to set the standard at their positions, regardless of the standings.
Creed Humphrey - Center
Creed Humphrey’s dominance at center has become so routine, it’s almost easy to take it for granted - but make no mistake, he’s still redefining the position. Since being drafted in the second round back in 2021, Humphrey has been a rock in the middle of the Chiefs’ offensive line, starting every game and anchoring one of the league’s most consistent units.
This marks Humphrey’s fourth straight Pro Bowl nod, and at this point, it feels like a given that he’ll keep stacking these honors as long as he stays healthy. He was a top-three finisher in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting in his debut season, and he hasn’t looked back since. Whether it’s handling the league’s top interior rushers or making line calls with surgical precision, Humphrey continues to be the heartbeat of the Chiefs' offensive line.
Chris Jones - Defensive Tackle
Chris Jones remains the engine of Kansas City’s defensive front, and his seventh consecutive Pro Bowl selection underscores just how consistently dominant he’s been. Sure, there have been ups and downs this season - Week 5 in Jacksonville comes to mind - but Jones’ impact on the pass rush is still undeniable.
He’s the kind of player who forces offenses to game plan around him, and his résumé is starting to take on serious Hall of Fame weight. With six All-Pro selections (first- or second-team) already under his belt, Jones continues to build a legacy that goes well beyond Kansas City. Even in a season where the defense has had its struggles, Jones has remained a disruptive force up front.
Travis Kelce - Tight End
At 36 years old, Travis Kelce continues to do things at the tight end position that just don’t make sense. Coming off a heartbreaking Super Bowl loss to the Eagles, Kelce entered 2025 with something to prove - and he delivered. His 11th Pro Bowl selection adds another line to a résumé that’s already legendary.
Kelce’s production, leadership, and ability to find soft spots in coverage haven’t faded with age. If anything, he’s found new ways to stay effective.
His route-running is still elite, his hands are as reliable as ever, and his chemistry with Patrick Mahomes remains one of the most dangerous connections in football. This season has shown that Kelce isn’t just hanging on - he’s still performing at a level few tight ends in history have ever reached.
Trey Smith - Guard
Trey Smith’s journey from sixth-round pick to Pro Bowl guard is one of the great development stories in recent Chiefs history. What started as a value pick in 2021 has turned into a cornerstone of the offensive line. Now in his second Pro Bowl, Smith has earned his spot among the league’s best interior linemen.
Even while battling through injury this year, Smith’s physicality and presence have been impossible to ignore. He’s a tone-setter - a mauler in the run game and a steady protector in pass sets. The Chiefs were smart to lock him up when they did, and his continued growth alongside Humphrey gives Kansas City one of the most formidable interior duos in the league.
Pro Bowl Alternates
In addition to the four primary selections, the Chiefs also had three players named as Pro Bowl alternates - further proof that the roster still features top-tier talent across multiple units. While those players didn’t make the initial cut, they’re next in line if injuries or opt-outs open the door.
So while the postseason may be out of reach, the Chiefs still have plenty to celebrate. These Pro Bowl honors serve as a reminder: Kansas City isn’t short on stars. The foundation is still strong, and with talent like this leading the way, the future remains bright - even if this season didn’t go according to script.
