Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has had one of the greatest careers at his position in the history of the NFL. During his 13 years in the league, Kelce has accumulated 1,080 receptions for 13,002 yards and 82 touchdowns. He has had four first-team All-Pro selections, 11 Pro Bowl appearances and three Super Bowl titles in his tenure with the Chiefs.

At 36 years old, he and the Chiefs had a disappointing season in 2025. They finished the regular season with a 6-11 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014.

While the Chiefs struggled to get themselves in the win column, Kelce still had a strong season. In 17 games, he caught 76 passes for 851 yards and five touchdowns. This was his lowest reception total in a decade, but Patrick Mahomes missed the final three games because of injury.

While Kelce was selected to the Pro Bowl for the 11th straight season, many have speculated that he has played his final snaps in a Chiefs uniform.

Before that decision is made, the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) announced its All-NFL teams for the AFC and NFC this week, and Kelce was named to the All-AFC squad.

Kelce rejoined the All-AFC team in 2025 after he missed being selected in the previous season. This is the seventh time Kelce has appeared on the PFWA All-AFC team in his career.

Creed Humphrey was named to the PFWA 2025 All-NFL team.
