A significant surprise is the absence of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes from the AFC roster. This marks the first time since he became the Chiefs’ full-time starter in 2018 that Mahomes has not been selected for the Pro Bowl. Despite leading the Chiefs to a 15-1 record and securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, Mahomes experienced a statistical decline this season, recording his lowest passing yardage since his rookie year and tying his career-low in touchdown passes, according to the The Sun
In Mahomes’ place, the AFC quarterback selections include:
- Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
- Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
- Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
The Pro Bowl Games are scheduled to take place on February 2, 2025, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. This year’s event will continue the format introduced in previous years, featuring a series of skills competitions and a non-contact flag football game, emphasizing player safety and fan engagement.
Fan voting for the Pro Bowl began on November 25 and concluded on December 23, with selections determined through a combination of fan, player, and coach votes, each accounting for one-third of the decision.
While the Pro Bowl honors individual excellence, some notable players were overlooked this year. For instance, Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph, who leads the NFL with nine interceptions and received the highest fan votes among free safeties, was not selected.
As the NFL season progresses toward the playoffs, the Pro Bowl serves as a celebration of the league’s top talent, offering fans an opportunity to witness their favorite players showcase their skills in a festive and less competitive environment.
