Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold and Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers lead the list of first-team selections for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, which the league announced Thursday .
The Baltimore Ravens lead all teams with nine Pro Bowl selections, while the Detroit Lions (seven players), Minnesota Vikings (six), Philadelphia Eagles (six), Dallas Cowboys (five) and Kansas City Chiefs (five) each have not less than five Players place players within the squad.
The 4 teams with nobody on the Pro Bowl's first roster are the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans.
Despite not appearing within the Pro Bowl since 2021 because the Chiefs have won the last two Super Bowls, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes was not chosen as a starter for the primary time in his seven years.
This yr's Pro Bowl Games might be held in Orlando, Florida, with the abilities challenges happening over two days at different locations. The first a part of the abilities competition will happen on January 30 at Nicholson Fieldhouse on the UCF campus and can air at 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN. The second a part of the event, including the flag football game, will happen on February 2nd at Camping World Stadium. It airs at 3:00 pm ET on ESPN and ABC.
The NFL added a trivia element to this yr's skill competitions, which also include traditional dodgeball and tug-of-war games. To “pass the test,” each quarterback must answer five trivia questions on other Pro Bowlers from the 2024 season. Correct answers give passersby more time to attempt to hit targets.
Peyton and Eli Manning will once more coach the AFC and NFC teams. The NFC defeated the AFC for the second straight yr in Pro Bowl Games in 2024.
