AI-generated summary reviewed by our newsroom.
- Travis Kelce led Pro Bowl voting with 420,383 votes, topping Josh Allen.
- Two Chiefs listed as starters; four total named to the Pro Bowl team.
- Pro Bowl Games set for Feb. 3 in San Francisco with skills challenge, flag football.
For the second straight year, tight end Travis Kelce was the leading vote-getter for the Pro Bowl. He was one of four Chiefs named to the Pro Bowl team Monday.
Two are listed as starters — center Creed Humphrey and tackle Chris Jones. Also named to the team was guard Trey Smith.
Alternates: quarterback Patrick Mahomes, linebacker Nick Bolton and cornerback Trent McDuffie.
Pro Bowl Games rosters are determined by a combination of votes from fans, coaches and players. The games will include a skills competition and 7-on-7 flag football game scheduled for Feb. 3 in San Francisco, near the site of Super Bowl LX.
Kelce’s vote total of 420,383 topped second-place Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, who finished with 263,127.
Because the team has been eliminated from the playoffs and can’t appear in the Super Bowl, Chiefs players are available for Pro Bowl activities for only the second time in the past seven years.
Kelce is having a solid season, his 13th with the Chiefs, leading the team in receptions (68) and receiving yards (803). In last week’s loss to the Tennessee Titans, he joined Jerry Rice as the only players in NFL history with 12 straight seasons with at least 800 yards.
But Kelce has another advantage: Fans of fiance Taylor Swift likely helped pad the total.
