The Associated Press 2023 NFL All-Pro team was selected by a national panel of 50 members from the media.

The Chiefs had a fine season this time, with their fair share of weekly highs and lows. However, as they made the playoffs, the spotlight was again on Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. But it seems not for the All-Pro team this season. Instead of Mahomes and Kelce, three other players from the Red Army have made it to the much-awaited All-Pro First Team list.

Left guard Joe Thuney from the offense, interior defensive lineman Chris Jones, and cornerback Trent Mcduffie from the defense were listed as three nominations for the First Team. However, even though Mahomes and Kelce haven’t been nominated for the list, fans can still be happy for them, as both have already made it to the Pro Bowl list this season.

One take at a time

I resonate with movies, exploring places, and not missing a single NFL game. If the NFL is my love, then I have to say, ‘my love’ found me!
