ChiefsPlanet - Football 2022 All-Crow Team

Why have the All-Pro Team when you can have the All-Crow Team? You better have brought a complete A-game to make my team, where it's more about the overall quality of production than merely leading a singular category.

Offense

QB: Patrick Mahomes II, Kansas City
Led the NFL in Passing Yards (5,250), TDs (41), and finished 7th in completion percentage (67.1%). Was 2nd in the NFL to Tua in Yards per Attempt (8.1) and QB Rating (105.2), as well as 3rd in Yards per Completion (12.1), although he was 1st among QBs with at least 14 games played in each of those cases, which is my barometer for qualifying in most cases.
