Before Week 18, the NFL announced their AFC and NFC Pro Bowl teams for the week-long 2025 Pro Bowl Games. Selected members were decided by a third of the consensus votes made from fans, players and coaches.
The AFC featured a quarterback room without Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes for the first time since he’s been a full-time NFL starter. Replacing him were three conference signal callers making their multi-time appearances in Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson (four-time selection), Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow (two-time selection), and Buffalo Bills Josh Allen (three-time selection, first-time Pro Bowl Starter).
Baltimore led all NFL teams in Pro Bowlers this season with nine. Jackson headlined as an MVP candidate followed by the NFL’s second-leading rusher Derrick Henry who was voted as Team AFC’s starting running back.
Defensively, the team featured linebacker Roquan Smith (AFC starter), safety Kyle Hamilton (AFC starter) and defensive lineman Nandi Madubuike all making their Pro Bowl returns for a second consecutive season. Marlon Humphrey returned to the Pro Bowl for the first time since 2022 thanks to a team-high six interceptions.
