The Chiefs have drafted 27 Pro Bowlers since 1996, and six players were named to the 2019 Pro Bowl squad, including Frank Clark, Mecole Hardman, Tyreek Hill, Chris Jones, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.
Of course none of them played in the Pro Bowl because they were in, and won, Super Bowl LIV.
The Cowboys have drafted 26 Pro Bowlers since the Ravens' inaugural season, and four were named to the most recent Pro Bowl — Ezekiel Elliott, Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick and Zack Martin.
Similarly, the Packers have also had 26 Pro Bowlers, and in 2019 they included Davante Adams, Za'Darius Smith and Kenny Clark.
The Ravens have drafted 25 Pro Bowlers since 1996, and their 2019 selections include Mark Andrews, Morgan Cox, Marlon Humphrey, Mark Ingram, Lamar Jackson, Matthew Judon, Marcus Peters, Patrick Ricard, Ronnie Stanley, Earl Thomas, Justin Tucker and Marshal Yanda.
The Bears and Steelers have drafted 23 Pro Bowlers, and their most recent selections include Eddie Jackson, Khalil Mack, Cordarelle Patterson, T.J. Watt, Cameron Heyward, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Maurkice Pouncey and David DeCastro.
