The Kansas City Chiefs saw three of their stars selected to the Associated Press 2023 All-Pro team on Friday ahead of the team’s playoff matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
Joe Thuney, Chris Jones, and Trent McDuffie were named to the prestigious list of the league’s top players, accomplishments that are commensurate with the exceptional seasons they put together.
All-Pro Chiefs.

One of Kansas City’s top contributors, veteran cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, was inexplicably absent from the list of the league’s top players, though, and after being snubbed for the Pro Bowl and NFLPA All-Pro teams earlier in January, many fans were left shaking their heads when the awards were announced.
Social media platforms were buzzing after Friday’s AP All-Pro teams were announced, and users in Chiefs Kingdom didn’t hold back about their excitement for Thuney, Jones, and McDuffie, or their consternation about Sneed’s exclusion.
Check out some of the top reactions to the All-Pro selections and snubs from Twitter:
Do NFL fans (not Chiefs fans) appreciate how good a cornerback has to be to make 1st Team All-Pro with zero interceptions?!
Five forced fumbles, three sacks, solid tackling in run support and tight coverage make McDuffie the complete package at CB. https://t.co/1rGUu1V6T0

L’Jarius Sneed received the fifth most votes among cornerbacks. Top-two make the first team, next two on second team. Sneed just missed out, and to former teammate Charvarius Ward.
Thuney, Jones and McDuffie (as a slot cornerback, specifically) on the first team. https://t.co/emptrYfCVB

McDuffie was good in the Slot this year — but I honestly didn’t think he was All-Pro good
No 1st or 2nd team for Sneed is a legitimate crime https://t.co/qPPOdqkhZI

So my takeaway is if the Chiefs aren’t just dominant and killing their opponents then nobody pays attention to them, because there is no other excuse. This is a travesty!! 😡
