Per Ruben Frank, Kelce’s selection puts him in rare air within the organization. Six other Eagles have been selected first-team All-Pro at least four times and five of them have been enshrined in Canton. At 34-years old, Kelce is having his most productive season as a professional and has added to his hall of fame legacy.
Jason Kelce is only the sixth player in Eagles history named to at least four all-pro 1st teams.

Johnson, who was snubbed of a Pro Bowl selection, was selected second-team All-Pro behind Tampa Bay’s Tristan Wirfs. Per PFF, Johnson has only given up 11 quarterback pressures all year which is good for third in the league. He missed three-games in the middle of the season due to mental health issues. Like Kelce, Johnson has had his best year as a professional.
