The 2025 Pro Bowl Games will feature first-timers like Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold, and Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, as announced by the league on Thursday.
The Baltimore Ravens lead with nine Pro Bowl selections, followed by the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, and Kansas City Chiefs with at least five players each on the roster.
The New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, and Tennessee Titans are the four teams without any initial representation on the Pro Bowl roster.
Despite winning the last two Super Bowls, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes was not selected for the first time in his seven-year tenure.
This year’s Pro Bowl Games will take place in Orlando, Fla., with skills challenges spread out over two days at different locations. The event will be broadcast on ESPN and ABC.
This year’s skills competitions will include a trivia element alongside traditional games like dodgeball and tug-of-war. Teams will compete in passing accuracy challenges, with quarterbacks needing to answer trivia questions to earn extra time.
