KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Six players who spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs made the NFL’s 2010s All-Decade Team.
Olathe native Darren Sproles also made the cut when the list was announced Monday after voting by the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 48-member selection committee.
To be eligible, a player had to have been selected to a Pro Bowl, Associated Press All-Pro team or Pro Football Writers Association of American all-conference team at least once from 2010-19.
The former Chiefs honored are tight end Travis Kelce, safeties Eric Berry and Tyrann Mathieu, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, running back LeSean McCoy, and cornerback Darelle Revis.
Mathieu made the list as a defensive back, while Hill made it as a punt returner.
Meanwhile, Sproles made the All-Decade Team as a flex player on offense and punt returner. He is only the fourth player to earn all-decade honors at multiple positions — joining Mel Gray (kick/punt return, 1990s), Dante Hall (kick/punt return, 2000s) and Deion Sanders (cornerback and punt return, 1990s).
Eight players, led by New England quarterback Tom Brady and Houston defensive end J.J. Watt, were unanimous selections.
The Chiefs had three players on the 1990s All-Decade Team and six on the 200s All-Decade Team, including Hall twice.
Kelce, a third-round pick by the Chiefs in the 2013 NFL Draft, has caught 507 passes for 6,465 yards and 37 touchdowns in 96 career games.
He became the first tight end in NFL history last season to record four consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns.
Kelce is a two-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl selection.
Berry was a three-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl selection during his nine seasons with the Chiefs. He was credited with 445 tackles and 14 interceptions in 87 career games.
Mathieu, 27, who also played for Ariona and Houston since entering the NFL in 2013, made 75 tackles and led the Chiefs with four interceptions last season, his first in Kansas City.
After signing a three-year deal in the offseason, Mathieu was a central figure in the defense’s turnaround en route to the Super Bowl LIV title, earning All-Pro honors for the second time in his career (Arizona, 2015).
During his four seasons, Hill has emerged as one of the NFL’s fastest players and most-feared weapons.
He has scored 41 career touchdowns, which is tied for the fifth-most by any player since he entered the league. That includes four punt returns and one kickoff return for a touchdown.
Hill has caught 281 passes for 4,115 yards with 32 touchdowns, while adding another 500 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
McCoy, who also played for Philadelphia and Buffalo during the last decade, appeared in 13 games for the Chiefs last season, totaling 646 yards from scrimmage with five touchdowns.
Revis, who played primarily for the Jets and also spent time with Tampa Bay and New England during the decade, appeared in five games for the Chiefs in 2017.
Finally, Sproles, an Olathe North and Kansas State graduate, set an NFL record in 2011 with New Orleans for the most all-purpose yards — rushing, receiving, kickoff and punt returns — in a single season (2,696).
During the last decade, he played for San Diego, New Orleans and Philadelphia, earning three Pro Bowl selections and a Super Bowl title with the Eagles before ending a 15-year NFL career after the 2019 season.
He retires with 19,696 career all-purpose yards, which ranks fifth in NFL history behind only Jerry Rice, Brian Mitchell, Walter Payton and Emmitt Smith.
Sproles was the only K-State player to make the list, while defensive back Chris Harris was the only former University of Kansas player.
