Notes
Some obvious names made the list, including Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, who has amassed 13 sacks this year after registering the same number last season. He still have three games to go, however, as he searches for the Defensive Player of the Year award.
Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald made his ninth Pro Bowl in as many NFL seasons, and San Francisco 49ers edge-rusher Nick Bosa (NFL-high 15.5 sacks) will be headed back as well.
On the other side of the ball, the top three AFC teams (the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals) are all represented at quarterback with Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, respectively.
Those three squads each have a host of talent represented as well. Of note, the No. 1 target for each signal-caller (Stefon Diggs, Travis Kelce and Ja’Marr Chase) are headed to the Pro Bowl Games as well.
For the NFC, NFL MVP candidate Jalen Hurts leads the list of quarterbacks. The Philadelphia Eagles superstar has accounted for 35 touchdowns (22 passing, 13 rushing) for his 13-1 squad. He’s joined by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, who has enjoyed a breakout season at the age of 31.
Some notable snubs include San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, who is No. 2 in the NFC (and No. 1 among running backs) in scrimmage yards (1,550). He’s also scored 10 touchdowns this season and helped San Francisco win seven straight games and earn the NFC West title.
On defense, Eagles cornerback James Bradberry certainly made his case to make the Pro Bowl Games, but he won’t be part of them this year. He’s been a shutdown corner for Philly this year en route to helping guide the team to a 13-1 record. An NFL-high eight Eagles made the Pro Bowl, though, so Philadelphia was still well-represented.

James Bradberry is a Pro Bowl snub.
Opposing QBs have the lowest passer rating targeting him in the #NFL (min. 50 attempts). #Eagles
The Pro Bowl Games will take place between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl, so the AFC and NFC representatives for the Lombardi Trophy won’t be taking part. However, there will still be plenty of star talent in Vegas as the NFL shifts to a new Pro Bowl approach.
