The Pro Football Writers of America have revealed the first of their annual on-field awards. Accredited writers covering all 32 NFL teams have voted on the PFWA’s All-NFL, All-AFC and All-NFC Teams following the conclusion of the 2022 NFL regular season.
A total of four Kansas City Chiefs players made the All-NFL team, which is tied with the San Francisco 49ers for the most by a single team. This comes a season after they had no players make the All-NFL team. They were also well-represented on the All-AFC team, with a total of six players selected, the most by any single AFC team.
Here’s a look at the players who landed on each All-Pro team:
All-NFL and All-AFC: QB Patrick Mahomes
Another sign that Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will be this year’s MVP winner? The only other time Mahomes was selected for the PFWA All-NFL team was in 2018 when he won his first MVP. This is his third time being selected for the All-AFC team.
All-NFL and All-AFC: TE Travis Kelce
This marked Kelce’s fourth career All-NFL team selection and his fifth All-AFC team selection.
All-NFL and All-AFC: DT Chris Jones
This was Jones’ first time being selected for the All-NFL team, but it’s his fifth time earning a selection for the All-AFC team for the writer’s association.
All-NFL and All-AFC: P Tommy Townsend
This is Townsend’s first career selection for both the All-NFL and All-AFC teams for the PFWA.
All-AFC: C Creed Humphrey
In just his second year as a professional, Humphrey has earned his first career selection for any team for the PFWA.
All-AFC: LG Joe Thuney
This is Thuney’s first time earning honors with the PFWA between his tenure in New England and Kansas City.
