Could Chiefs DL Chris Jones be a potential Defensive Player of the Year candidate in 2025?

The Kansas City Chiefs have never produced a Defensive Player of the Year winner, and may seem unlikely to do so next season after their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX earlier this year.

But, as the future is still undecided, the experts at Pro Football Network took it upon themselves to speculate about the likelihood of Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones winning the coveted DPOY award for the 2025 season.Take a look at what PFN had to say about Jones below: "Though he dropped from 10.5 sacks in 2023 to just five in 2024, Chris Jones finished last year with his third consecutive first-team All-Pro nomination.With [Aaron] Donald's retirement, Jones has taken the mantle as the best defensive tackle in the NFL.

His ability to get to the quarterback along the interior makes him the anchor of the Kansas City Chiefs' defense."Clearly, expectations will remain high for Jones and the Chiefs' other veteran stars as Kansas City looks to avenge its latest championship defeat next season.This article originally appeared on Chiefs Wire: Experts say this Chiefs star could be a DPOY candidate in 2025.
