Does the road to the Super Bowl run through the 49ers? (1:01)Jason McCourty discusses the 49ers’ chances of being the 1-seed and making the Super Bowl. (1:01)
The rosters are set for the 2026 NFL Pro Bowl Games, and the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks lead the way with each having six players chosen.
The Pro Bowl Games include a skills competition and a 7-on-7 flag football game scheduled for Feb. 3 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco (6:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Here’s a team-by-team look at the players chosen for this season’s games, with the number of times each player has been honored. This file was updated with the takeaways from each NFL Nation reporter and a did-you-know fact.
Did you know? The Bills have had only offensive players selected to the Pro Bowl in the past three years. Safety Jordan Poyer was the last non-offensive player as an original selection in the 2022 season. — Alaina Getzenberg
Achane registered his first career 1,000-yard rushing season in 2025, and has a career-high 1,726 total yards through the Dolphins’ first 15 games. Despite a full workload, Achane hasn’t missed a game and leads the league with five touchdown runs of at least 40 yards. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks was named a first alternate, as was fullback Alec Ingold. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick were both named third alternates.
Did you know? in just his third NFL season, Achane, 24, is already the Dolphins’ eighth leading rusher (2,974 as of Week 16). — Marcel Louis-Jacques
Maye went to the Pro Bowl last year as an alternate, and this time gets voted in as an original pick. He is currently second in MVP odds behind the Rams’ Matthew Stafford, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. As for Gonzalez, he was named second-team Associated Press All-Pro in 2024 but didn’t make the Pro Bowl. So this is a bit of a makeup nod for Gonzalez, whose 2025 season hasn’t been as decisive as his 2024 campaign.
Did you know? Maye becomes just the fourth quarterback in NFL history to begin his career with multiple consecutive invitations, joining Andrew Luck (3 straight), Russell Wilson (4 straight) and Dan Marino (5 straight). He joins Mike Haynes (5) and Curtis Martin (2) to open their Patriots careers with at least two Pro Bowl selections. — Mike Reiss
Another losing season, another year without a Pro Bowl selection. The Jets’ top candidate was K Nick Folk, who leads the AFC in field goal percentage (96.4). Come to think of it, the team’s best candidates all came from special teams. The others: PR/KR Isaiah Williams (two TDs) and P Austin McNamara (third in the AFC in net average). No player on offense or defense deserved consideration. It has been one of those years.
Did you know? The Jets have gone 10 straight years without a Pro Bowl player on offense. The last was WR Brandon Marshall (2015). It’s rather remarkable, considering they’ve invested heavily on that side of the ball — 13 first- and second-round picks over that span. — Rich Cimini
Pro Bowlers: WR Zay Flowers (2), S Kyle Hamilton (3), C Tyler Linderbaum (3), FB Patrick Ricard (6), LB Roquan Smith (4), P Jordan Stout (1)
Did you know? Ricard joined a select group by becoming one of seven Ravens to be selected to six or more Pro Bowls. Of those previous six, three are in the Hall of Fame (Jonathan Ogden, Ray Lewis and Ed Reed) and two others are semifinalists for this year’s Hall of Fame class (Terrell Suggs and Yanda). The only undrafted player who has made more Pro Bowls for the Ravens than Ricard is kicker Justin Tucker (seven). — Jamison Hensley
Did you know? Chase now ranks sixth in franchise history with five Pro Bowl nods. Two of those ahead of him are also wide receivers (A.J. Green with seven and Chad Johnson at six). — Ben Baby
Garrett and Ward have been rewarded with Pro Bowl honors again for anchoring one of the league’s top defenses. Garrett, named to his seventh Pro Bowl, leads the NFL with a career-high 22 sacks, and is one away from breaking the NFL’s single-season record. Ward has had another season with tight coverage and has recorded one interception.
Did you know? Ward, with his fifth Pro Bowl selection, passed Frank Minnifield (4) for the most Pro Bowl selections by a Browns corner. — Daniel Oyefusi
Did you know? While this is Skowronek’s first Pro Bowl selection, the Steelers have a recent history of special teamers earning Pro Bowl nods. Miles Killebrew was named to the Pro Bowl in 2024 and 2023 for his special teams play. — Brooke Pryor
Pro Bowlers: LB Azeez Al-Shaair (1); DE Will Anderson Jr. (2); WR Nico Collins (2); CB Derek Stingley Jr. (2)
Did you know? Since DeMeco Ryans took over as head coach in 2023, the Texans have sent at least three players to the Pro Bowl each season. — DJ Bien-Aime
Did you know? Nelson is the second offensive lineman to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first eight seasons, joining Cleveland Browns great Joe Thomas. — Stephen Holder
Did you know? Matiscik is the fifth Jaguars player to be named to three Pro Bowls, joining QB Mark Brunell, DT Marcus Stroud, RB Maurice Jones-Drew and DE Calais Campbell. Only OT Tony Boselli (5) and WR Jimmy Smith (5) have made more. — Michael DiRocco
Did you know? Dike is the first Titans rookie to be named to the Pro Bowl since returner Marc Mariani made it in 2010. Dike is also the sixth since the 1970 NFL/AFL merger, joining running back Earl Campbell (1978), defensive end Jevon Kearse (1999), quarterback Vince Young (2006) and running back Chris Johnson (2008). — Turron Davenport
Pro Bowlers: DT Zach Allen (1); OT Garett Bolles (1); OLB Nik Bonitto (2); OG Quinn Meinerz (1); CB Pat Surtain II (4); WR Courtland Sutton (2)
Did you know? This is the most Pro Bowl selections for the Broncos since 2016 when they had six players selected from a team that finished 9-7. Four of the Pro Bowl selections that year — Harris, Talib, S Darian Stewart and OLB Von Miller — were on defense. It was also WR Demaryius Thomas’ last Pro Bowl selection. And with three Pro Bowl selections last season it is also the most in back-to-back seasons for the Broncos since they had 12 combined in the 2015 and 2016 seasons. — Jeff Legwold
Did you know? Kelce was chosen to his 11th Pro Bowl, which is tied with Jason Witten for the second-most Pro Bowl selections among NFL tight ends. Kelce trails only Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez, who was selected to the Pro Bowl 14 times. –Nate Taylor
Did you know? If Bowers records at least 107 more yards, he will surpass Mike Ditka (1,980) for the most receiving yards by a tight end in his first two seasons in NFL history. — Ryan McFadden
Pro Bowlers: DL Joe Alt (1); PK Cameron Dicker (1); QB Justin Herbert (2); S Derwin James Jr. (5); LB Tuli Tuipulotu (1)
Did you know? This season, Herbert became the third player in NFL history to begin a career with six consecutive seasons with at least 3,000 passing yards and 20 passing touchdowns. — Kris Rhim
Pro Bowlers: K Brandon Aubrey (3); WR George Pickens (1); QB Dak Prescott (4); OG Tyler Smith (3); DT Quinnen Williams (4)
Did you know? With Tyler Smith’s selection, the Cowboys have had at least one offensive lineman picked for the Pro Bowl in 22 of the last 25 seasons. The only times the line was not represented came in 2002, 2011 and 2012. — Todd Archer
Did you know? This is Burns’ third Pro Bowl and his first with the Giants. He also made the Pro Bowl in 2021 and 2022 for the Carolina Panthers. He was the only Giants player selected to the Pro Bowl this season. — Jordan Raanan
Pro Bowlers: LB Zack Baun (2); OL Jalen Carter (2); CB Cooper DeJean (1); C Cam Jurgens (2), CB Quinyon Mitchell (1)
Did you know? Mitchell entered Week 16 leading all corners in catch rate allowed (41.6%) and third in passer rating allowed (61.4). He and DeJean anchor a secondary that is allowing just 192 passing yards per game (7th). — Tim McManus
Did you know? Washington had two Pro Bowlers last season — quarterback Jayden Daniels and receiver Terry McLaurin. They have combined to miss 15 games so far this season — and only played two full games together. They combined for 70 catches, 944 yards and 12 touchdowns last season compared to 10 for 116 and no scores in 2025. — John Keim
Pro Bowlers: LB Jack Campbell (1); RB Jahmyr Gibbs (3); DE Aidan Hutchinson (2); OT Penei Sewell (4); WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (4)
The Lions are amid one of their most successful eras in franchise history under head coach Dan Campbell and received the fifth-most Pro Bowl votes from fans by a team this season. Jack Campbell is the first Lions linebacker to be selected to a Pro Bowl since Stephen Boyd in 2000, while Gibbs has now been selected to a Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons. Gibbs joined Barry Sanders and Billy Sims as the only RBs in team history to earn three Pro Bowl berths in the Super Bowl era.
Did you know? Jordan Love is still looking for his first Pro Bowl selection. Love’s numbers (23 touchdowns, six interceptions, 72.8 Total QBR) don’t compare to NFC starter Matthew Stafford (40/5/72.0) but are on par with the other two NFC Pro Bowl QBs: Dak Prescott (28/10/73.0) and Sam Darnold (24/13/60.8). — Rob Demovsky
Did you know? This season was the third in team history without a single player chosen for the initial Pro Bowl season. The other two were in 1983 and 2014. — Kevin Seifert
Did you know? Robinson is the first player with 1,000 rushing yards and 750 receiving yards in a season since Christian McCaffrey in 2019. McCaffrey also has accomplished that feat this season.– Marc Raimondi
Horn became the first Carolina player since DE Brian Burns (2021-22) to make consecutive Pro Bowls, and deservedly so. He is tied for second in the NFL in interceptions with five and is a true shut-down corner. The surprise is that DL Derrick Brown didn’t make his second Pro Bowl. He’s been a difference-maker as a run stopper, as has been his reputation, but also as a pass rusher.
