The NFL announced its All-Pro teams on Friday, and the unveiling brought good news for one of the superstar Kelce brothers — but no so much for the other.
Jason Kelce, the beating heart of the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line, was named a first-team All-Pro once again after another exemplary regular season. But Travis Kelce had a “down season” by his lofty standards, and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was left off the first- and second-team All-Pro squads.

Jason Kelce makes history
As if his reputation needed another boost, Jason Kelce’s latest All-Pro selection solidifies the 36-year-old as one of the top offensive linemen of his generation and a surefire Hall of Fame inductee when his playing days are over.
The older Kelce brother has been named a first-team All-Pro for the sixth time — a distinction only four other centers in NFL history have received. Kelce was also named to the Pro Bowl this year, the seventh time he has been selected to that team — meaning he is one of only 50 players in league history to make seven Pro Bowl teams and receive six first-team All-Pro designations.
Kelce was flagged for only six penalties in 17 games — all false starts. The 2023 campaign was the first in Kelce’s career without a holding penalty, showing that he is getting better with age. In fact, each of his All-Pro selections were made following his 30th birthday in 2017.
Was Travis Kelce snubbed?
Jason’s younger brother Travis has also been a fixture on the first-team All-Pro roster in recent years, but he was not included in the first team for 2023 — and the tight end’s performances did not merit inclusion on the second team, either.
