KC Chiefs offensive players likely to make the 2022 Pro Bowl

As the NFL season moves past Thanksgiving, and playoff pictures start to take a more defined shape, the Kansas City Chiefs had a much-needed bye week after a 4-0 stretch in the month of November that saw them regain the AFC West lead and move within striking distance of the top of the AFC as a whole.

This sort of turnaround feels crazy to be writing about given how the season started. However, we have many players to thank for this winning record and much better playoff outlook. An undefeated month of November is the catalyst for a 7-4 record and the return of a dynamic defense and an other-worldly offense when things are clicking.

It’s pretty nice that Pro Bowl fan voting opened upright in the middle of this winning streak, so we can take a look at Chiefs players on the offensive side of the ball that are deserving of a Pro Bowl nod.

Creed Humphrey / Joe Thuney

Of course, both left guard Joe Thuney and center Creed Humphrey aren’t likely make the Pro Bowl, given how competitive offensive line play is across the league. However, if the rosters could be deeper than they are, these two guys would make it with no problem. With 2 sacks given up between them through the first 11 weeks of the season, not many offensive linemen have done a better job of protecting their quarterback, especially amongst interior linemen.

With a second-team All-Pro already under his belt, Joe Thuney has been a model of consistency since his career began in New England in 2016, having not missed a game to date. This consistency seems to have rubbed off on rookie Creed Humphrey, as he is proving himself to be a top-level talent. If neither of them receives a Pro Bowl nod this year (first of all, why?), expect it in the years to come.
