The practice of compiling “all-decade teams” is commonplace in the NFL, but rather than waiting until 2030, FOX Sports went ahead and put together an all-star squad for this decade so far<\/a>, and \u2013 unsurprisingly \u2013 three members of the Kansas City Chiefs made the list.<\/p>\n

The team, which recognized accomplishments from the last five seasons, included 12 offensive players, 12 defensive players and six special teamers.<\/p>\n

Here’s who represented Kansas City on the team along with analysis from Ben Arthur, who compiled the squad:<\/p>\n

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes<\/p>\n

“[Mahomes is] the “GOAT” of this era with four Super Bowl appearances (two rings) and two Super Bowl MVPs in the last five years. Since 2020, his regular-season record, total passing yards, passing yards per game and passing touchdown marks top elite peers like Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen and Joe Burrow.”<\/p>\n

“Kelce’s dominance in receiving at the position sets him in a stratosphere of his own. His 12,151 receiving yards are the third-most ever for a tight end. His 2,078 receiving yards in the postseason trails only Hall-of-Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice for the most all-time.”<\/p>\n

Defensive Tackle Chris Jones<\/p>\n

“Jones has been an AP All-Pro honoree and Pro Bowler every year since the start of the decade, and has taken Donald’s crown as the league’s best defensive tackle. The former second-round pick’s 47.5 sacks and 200 pressures pace all defensive tackles over the past five years, per Sportradar.”<\/p>\n

Additionally, while no longer a member of the Chiefs, offensive guard Joe Thuney made the team for his efforts with Kansas City from 2021-24. Here’s what Arthur wrote about Thuney:<\/p>\n

“Thuney had the highest pass-blocking grade among qualified guards each season from 2021-23 and ranked second in 2024, per PFF.”<\/p>\n
