Chiefs Boast Eight Representatives in ESPN's All-Quarter Century Team

On June 25, 2025, ESPN unveiled its "All-Quarter Century Team," honoring the NFL's finest from 2000 to 2025. The Kansas City Chiefs shone brightly, securing eight representatives among the 53 players, three coordinators, and one head coach selected. Alongside the San Francisco 49ers, the Chiefs are one of only two teams with four current members on the roster, underscoring their dominance in the modern NFL.

Current Chiefs in the Spotlight:

  • Patrick Mahomes (QB #3): At just 29, Mahomes trails only Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. With five AFC titles, three Super Bowl rings, and NFL records for 32,352 passing yards and 245 touchdown passes in 112 games, he’s a cornerstone of the Chiefs’ dynasty.

  • Travis Kelce (TE #2): Kelce’s nine consecutive seasons with 80+ receptions set a league record for any position. Only Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten surpass him in tight end receptions and yards, placing him just behind Rob Gronkowski.

  • Chris Jones (DT #3): A defensive linchpin for three Super Bowl champs, Jones led defensive tackles in pass-rush win rate from 2020-24 (behind only Aaron Donald). His impact in big games earned him a spot over other elite linemen.

  • Dave Toub (Special Teams Coordinator): Toub’s units ranked top-five in efficiency from 2006-17, an unmatched streak. His work has fueled nine straight AFC West titles, though 2018 saw a rare dip to sixth.

  • Former Chiefs Honored:

    • Priest Holmes (RB #1): From 2001-03, Holmes racked up 6,566 yards and 61 touchdowns in 46 games, joining an elite group with three straight 2,000-yard seasons.

  • Tony Gonzalez (TE #3): Holding NFL tight end records for 1,325 receptions and 15,127 yards, Gonzalez remains a legend behind Gronkowski and Kelce.

  • Jared Allen (EDGE #2): With 43 sacks from 2004-07, Allen was a force for Kansas City, ranking second among edge rushers.

  • Darrelle Revis (CB #1): Though briefly with the Chiefs in 2017, Revis’ lockdown coverage earned him the top cornerback spot.

  • The Chiefs’ eight selections highlight their blend of offensive firepower, defensive grit, and special teams excellence. Mahomes, Kelce, Jones, and Toub represent the current juggernaut, while Holmes, Gonzalez, Allen, and Revis cement the franchise’s storied legacy. As ESPN’s team reflects the NFL’s best over 25 years, Kansas City’s presence affirms their status as a powerhouse, with no signs of slowing down.

    Jerry Jones Speaks Out, Criticizes the Controversy Surrounding the Cowboys WR After the Loss to the Lions
    DALLAS — Jerry Jones has finally had enough. In a fiery radio interview on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday morning, the Cowboys owner publicly ripped into star wide receiver George Pickens for his explosive, now-deleted Instagram beef with Richard Sherman following the Thanksgiving nightmare against the Detroit Lions. “I love everything George has done this year,” Jones said. “But let me be very clear — I don’t want to see him sitting on Instagram arguing with Richard Sherman or anybody else. Put the phone down, stop the social media nonsense, and focus on playing football. That’s what we pay him for.” Mic drop. The 82-year-old owner rarely calls out his own players by name in public, making this one of the sharpest rebukes in recent Cowboys history. Quick recap of the chaos: Lions game: CeeDee Lamb gets hurt and leaves early → Pickens disappears with a miserable 5 catches for 37 yards. Richard Sherman goes on TV and says Pickens “quit on routes” and showed zero effort. Pickens claps back with a savage (and quickly deleted) Instagram story: “Old man still talking.” Internet explodes. Despite the ugly performance, Pickens still leads the Cowboys in every major receiving stat (78 receptions, 1,179 yards, 8 TDs), but Jerry Jones just drew a line in the sand: the social media wars end today. “I have zero concern about George competing and helping us win games on the field,” Jones continued. “My only concern is him wasting time and energy on this Instagram back-and-forth instead of turning the page.” Will this public dressing-down light a fire under Pickens… or pour gasoline on an already raging controversy? One thing is certain — every snap this Sunday will be scrutinized like never before. Is Jerry Jones right to go nuclear on his star WR? Or did he just make the drama ten times worse?
