Breaking down PFF’s all-Chiefs team of best players from last 20 years
Pro Football Focus is celebrating 20 years worth of NFL data by building All-Star teams for each team since 2006 , the first year PFF began evaluating players and teams. The Kansas City Chiefs ‘ all-PFF team is made up of plenty of current stars, especially on offense. QB: Patrick Mahomes (2017-2025) HB: Jamaal Charles (2008-2016) WR: Tyreek Hill (2016-2021) WR: Dwayne Bowe (2007-2014) Slot WR: Rashee Rice (2023-2025) TE: Travis Kelce (2014-2025) TE: Tony Gonzalez (2006-2008) LT: Eric Fisher (2013-2020) LG: Joe Thuney (2021-2024) C: Creed Humphrey (2021-2025) RG: Trey Smith (2021-2025) RT: Mitchell Schwartz (2016-2020) Quarterback Patrick Mahomes leads the way, joined by wide receiver Rashee Rice, tight end Travis Kelce, center Creed Humphrey and right guard Trey Smith as the players still going strong for the Chiefs in this all-time lineup. Only three players predate the era of head coach Andy Reid: running back Jamaal Charles, wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and tight end Tony Gonzalez. The all-time offensive line is made up of two waves: offensive tackles Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz shared the line from 2016-2020, then the interior trio of left guard Joe Thuney, Humphrey and Smith took over until Thuney departed via free agency in 2024. On defense, the vast majority of Kansas City ’s best players from the last 20 years are former Chiefs at this point. DI: Chris Jones (2016-2025) DI: Mike Devito (2013-2015) NT: Dontari Poe (2012-2016) ED: Justin Houston (2011-2018) ED: Tamba Hali (2006-2017) LB: Derrick Johnson (2006-2017) LB: Nick Bolton (2021-2025) CB: Brandon Flowers (2008-2013) CB: Brandon Carr (2008-2011) Slot CB: Trent McDuffie (2022-2025) S: Eric Berry (2010-2018) S: Tyrann Mathieu (2019-2021) Defensive tackle Chris Jones and linebacker Nick Bolton are the only current Chiefs players among this group; cornerback Trent McDuffie and safety Tyrann Mathieu are the only other players who have been coached by current defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. The current Chiefs could sure use one of the all-time pass rushers Kansas City has in Justin Houston and Tamba Hali. The team is also missing a star safety like Eric Berry or Mathieu.
