2025 Pro Bowl Games Rosters: Jayden Daniels and Sam Darnold headline first-time competitors

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold and Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers top the list of first timers 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 at least five places. players on the list.

The four teams without anyone on the Pro Bowl’s first roster are the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans.

Although he hasn’t made the Pro Bowl since 2021, as the Chiefs have won the last two Super Bowls, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes was not selected for the first time in his seven years as a starter.

This year’s Pro Bowl Games will be held in Orlando, Florida, with the skills challenges taking place over two days at different locations. The first part of the skills competition will take place at the Nicholson Fieldhouse on UCF’s campus on Jan. 30 and air at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN. The second part of the event, including the flag football match, will take place on February 2 at Camping World Stadium. It airs at 3pm ET on ESPN and ABC.

The NFL has added a trivia element to the skills competitions this year, including traditional dodgeball and tug-of-war competitions. If you pass the test, each quarterback will answer five trivia questions about other Pro Bowlers from the 2024 season. Correct answers will give passers more time to try to hit targets.

Peyton and Eli Manning will once again coach the AFC and NFC teams. The NFC defeated the AFC for the second straight year of the Pro Bowl Games in 2024.
