KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and defensive tackle Chris Jones were among four Chiefs who earned All-NFL honors from the Pro Football Writers of America on Monday.
Joining them on the All-NFL team were Travis Kelce and Tommy Townsend. The four selections on the team were tied with the San Francisco 49ers for the most All-NFL selections.
It’s the second time Mahomes as earned All-NFL honors and his third selection to the All-AFC team. When Mahomes earned All-NFL honors in 2018, he went on to win the organization’s most valuable player award as well.

The Mahomes, Jones, Kelce and Townsend quartet also earned All-AFC honors along with center Creed Humphrey and left guard Joe Thuney.
Kelce earned All-NFL honors for the fourth time while landing on the All- AFC team for a fifth occasion. This is the first time Jones has earned All-NFL selection from the PFWA but it’s the fifth time in the last six seasons he’s earned All-AFC honors.
For Townsend, Thuney and Humphrey, it’s their first honors from the writers association.
