You can go ahead and stencil in Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce into the Pro Bowl for the 2024 season. We know that those two players are the Kansas City Chiefs' most popular, and automatic Pro Bowlers.
However, they haven't had to play in the Pro Bowl in the last few years because they were busy playing in the Super Bowl. That's what the Chiefs would prefer, of course, but it's always nice to see your players recognized for their great season.
The Chiefs have a good enough roster that they could very well have eight Pro Bowlers in 2024. Chris Jones could be one, as well as guys like Nick Bolton, too. Or, there could be three new players who become Pro Bowlers, who have never made it before.
This team is very young, but it's also very talented. There are about to be some players playing their best ball that a lot of people outside the Chiefs did not see coming. There can be three new Pro Bowlers in 2024.
Three new Pro Bowlers for the Chiefs
Isiah Pacheco, RB
This one was obvious, considering he is the starting running back for a playoff team and could be the one release value to help Patrick Mahomes not stay too pass-heavy. And, he's nearly had a 1,000-yard rushing season two seasons in a row but progressively got better each year with his yardage and touchdowns.
In 2024, he could be a guy that sets the tone in games. The running back room isn't nearly as good as it was last year with few question marks in terms of depth. This could be the year we see Pacheco get 1,700 scrimmage yards, which would be good enough for a Pro Bowl bid.
Hollywood Brown, WR
I know it's crazy, and it seems like Brown has made a Pro Bowl before, but he truly has not. I'm not sure he has ever been used correctly in any offense, whether it be for the Baltimore Ravens or the Arizona Cardinals. Being in run-heavy schemes hasn't helped. And, he has struggled with some injuries, too, whether he missed games or played through them.
With Patrick Mahomes, a quarterback who is actually good at throwing the deep ball, there is no telling what Brown can do in this offense. And, to start the season, he could get more attention than usual because we aren't really sure what will happen to Rashee Rice. Brown is going to give this team the vertical threat that they didn't have last season, so it's a no-brainer that he could be a Pro Bowler.
George Karlaftis, EDGE
You could make a case that Karlaftis was the second-best defensive lineman on the team last season. Of course, Chris Jones is going to be Chris Jones, but let's not forget what Karlaftis did, too. He constantly won his matchup and upped his sack numbers by four last season, where he hit 10.5 in his second year.
He is still improving and getting better, and having the guys he does around him can only make him better. With this fan base and the way they love Karlaftis, I think he could be on for a big season, one that may see him get a Pro Bowl nod.
