Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson Named First-Team All-Pro, 4 Eagles Earn Second-Team

It was Kelce's fifth time making first team, leaving him one behind tying the most by any NFL center, while Johnson made his third and second in a row

If Jason Kelce ultimately decides to retire at the end of the Eagles’ playoff run, he will be going out at the very tip-top of his game.

The Eagles center was named first-team Associated Press All-Pro on Friday for a fifth time. He has been named All-Pro in five of his last six seasons.

He was joined on the first team by right tackle Lane Johnson, who was named to the team for the second straight year and the third time in his career.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts, receiver A.J. Brown, edge rusher Haason Reddick, and cornerback James Bradberry were named second-team All-Pro.

Only one center in NFL history has been named first-team All-Pro more than Kelce and that is Dermontti Dawson, who did it six times. Kelce joins Mike Webster and Dwight Stephenson as the only players to earn the honor in five seasons since the merger in 1970.

Dawson, Webster, and Stephenson are all Pro Football Hall of Fame members, but only Kelce and Webster won Super Bowls.

Kelce has started 139 straight games, which is the second-longest streak behind Jake Matthews (145) and the second-longest streak in Eagles history behind Jon Runyan (144, 2000-08).

Johnson, who returned to practice on Friday after missing the last two regular-season games while treating a torn abductor muscle that will require surgery when the season ends, was also an All-Pro in the Eagles’ Super Bowl championship season of 2017.

Hurts was second team behind Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes, who will likely win the MVP, too.

Brown was second team behind Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson, Miami’s Tyreek Hill, and Las Vegas’ Davante Adams.

Also, on the second team at WR were Dallas’ CeeDee Lamb, and Buffalo’s Stefon Diggs.

Reddick was second team behind edge rushers San Francisco’s Nick Bosa and Dallas’ Miah Parson.

With Reddick on the second team is Cleveland’s Myles Garrett.

Bradberry was second team behind Jets rookie Sauce Gardner and Denver’s Patrick Surtain.

With Bradberry on the second team was Green Bay’s Jaire Alexander.
