The four-time first-team All-Pro has made 11 consecutive Pro Bowl appearances, with 12 consecutive campaigns of 800-plus receiving yards.
The Chiefs finished the season 6-11 after their luck in one-score games cratered and the team was hit by numerous injuries, including a torn ACL suffered by QB Patrick Mahomes in December as the team’s playoff hopes were hanging on by a thread.
Kelce, 36, finished with 76 catches for 851 yards and five touchdowns in 2025 as he joined Jerry Rice as just the second player to have 12 consecutive seasons with over 800 receiving yards and Tim Brown with 10 straight seasons of 75 or more catches.
