Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and right tackle Mitchell Schwartz have been named second-team All-Pro by The Associated Press.

Kelce and Schwartz are the only Chiefs to make the team.

This is the second consecutive All-Pro honor for Kelce, 28, who led the Chiefs in catches with 83 and finished second in receiving yards with 1,038. He also caught eight touchdown passes. Kelce was a first-teamer a year ago, but he lost out this time to New England's Rob Gronkowski, who caught 69 passes for 1,084 yards and eight touchdowns and received 40 votes to Kelce’s 10.This is also the second consecutive All-Pro honor for Schwartz, 28, who shared the honor with Carolina’s Daryl Williams.

Behind a dominant line, the Eagles' scored the third most points of any NFL team during their 13-3 campaign and a vault to the top of the NFC standings.

Quarterback Carson Wentz also played a large role in the team's offensive success, and he wound up as a second-team all-pro, along with defensive tackle Fletcher Cox. For Cox, it's his third appearance on a second-team all-pro roster. Wentz, Johnson and Kelce are all first-time honorees.

AP all-pro voting includes ballots from 50 sports writers and is one of the widely respected methods of sorting out the NFL's top performers. Last season, no Eagles made the first team and only one, defensive end Brandon Graham, earned a spot on the second team.

This season, Wentz finished second in the NFL with 33 touchdown passes despite missing the final three games of the season with a torn ACL. The face of the franchise, Wentz ascended to star status in his second NFL season and entered MVP contention, but he didn't do enough to edge five-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady as the first-team all-pro quarterback.
