In 2001, Priest Holmes made the NFL Pro Bowl for which team?

The story behind the answer

In 2001, Priest Holmes made the NFL Pro Bowl as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Holmes joined Kansas City in 2001 after beginning his NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens. His first season with the Chiefs became a breakthrough campaign: he rushed for 1,555 yards and 8 touchdowns, immediately establishing himself as one of the league's premier running backs.

The Pro Bowl honor recognized his performance during the 2001 regular season. Holmes remained with Kansas City through the 2007 season and earned additional Pro Bowl selections in 2002 and 2003. He also led the NFL in rushing touchdowns in 2002 and set a then-NFL record with 27 rushing touchdowns that year.

A common mix-up is associating Holmes's early career with the Ravens, where he won a Super Bowl during the 2000 season. However, his 2001 Pro Bowl selection was credited to the Chiefs, making Kansas City the canonical answer.
