Travis and Jason Kelce Named to 2021 NFL Pro Bowl Roster

The brothers are no stranger to the NFL All-Star event.

CINCINNATI — Former Bearcats Travis and Jason Kelce were named Pro Bowl reserves by the NFL this week. The former is backing up Mark Andrews at tight end, and Jason is right behind Ryan Jensen at center.

This season's game will be Travis's seventh consecutive Pro Bowl dating back to the 2015 season when his run as a top-tier tight end began. He was also named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his monster performance against the Los Angeles Chargers.

His brother earned the fifth Pro Bowl nod of his career and his third consecutive selection. Across the past eight seasons, Jason has either been First-Team All-Pro or a Pro Bowler in every campaign besides 2015. Kelce is also the Philadelphia Eagles Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee.

Cincinnati has had 124 players drafted in school history and 138 total NFL players. From 2011 until now, none of those Bearcats has amassed the total approximate value Kelce has. According to Pro Football Reference, Jason (76) is eight points above Trent Cole (68) and holds an edge on his brother Travis (67). By the end of this season, the brothers could be side-by-side atop the list
