In a display of his immense popularity, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce dominated fan voting for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, amassing an impressive 252,200 votes to lead all players. The perennial All-Pro’s soaring vote total reflects his on-field excellence and rising stardom off the field.
Kelce’s Star Power Shines Bright
As one of the NFL’s most productive and charismatic players, Kelce’s fanbase has exploded in recent years. His stellar performance, entertaining personality, and high-profile relationship with music icon Taylor Swift have all contributed to his surging popularity among fans across the nation.

This marks the ninth consecutive Pro Bowl nod for the prolific pass-catcher. Kelce’s consistency and game-changing ability have made him a fixture in the NFL’s annual all-star showcase.
“It’s a tremendous honor to have the support of so many great fans,” Kelce said of leading the Pro Bowl voting. “I never take this recognition for granted and I’m grateful for everyone who took the time to vote.”

New Pro Bowl Format Draws Intrigue
The reimagined Pro Bowl Games, now in its third year, has replaced the traditional tackle football all-star game with a series of skills competitions and a flag football tournament. The new format aims to showcase player talents while prioritizing health and safety.
With Peyton and Eli Manning returning as head coaches for the AFC and NFC squads respectively, the week-long festivities in Central Florida promise to be must-see TV for football fans. The event will culminate with a seven-on-seven flag football game at Camping World Stadium on February 2nd.
Other Top Vote-Getters
While Kelce topped the overall fan voting, several other superstars also drew heavy support:
- Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs: 250,082 votes
- Commanders QB Jayden Daniels: 242,352 votes
- Bengals QB Joe Burrow: 239,526 votes
- Lions QB Jared Goff: 225,858 votes
The full AFC and NFC Pro Bowl rosters will be revealed on Thursday morning, with player and coach voting each counting for one third of the selection process. But if the fans have their say, expect to see Travis Kelce front and center when the Pro Bowl Games kick off in Orlando next month.
