The AFC and NFC Professional Bowl rosters were revealed on Tuesday. Beneath, we check out 5 of this 12 months’s largest snubs.
It is laborious to think about a world the place the quarterback who ranks third within the league in passing yards (4,036) and second in landing passes (32) is not a Professional Bowler, but it is one other signal that we reside in essentially the most nonsensical timeline.
Goff has comparable numbers to his Professional Bowl 2024 season, with essentially the most notable distinction being that the 2016 No. 1 choose has thrown seven fewer interceptions (5), posting the league’s lowest interception fee (one p.c) amongst qualifying quarterbacks.

He completely belongs.
Participant we might swap out: Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold | Whereas few quarterbacks have prioritized defending the ball as a lot as Goff, solely Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith and Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa have thrown extra interceptions than Darnold (13). He deserves credit score for main the Seahawks (12-3) to the present No. 1 seed within the NFC, and it is no accident he is the winningest quarterback over the previous two seasons (on two separate groups). Nevertheless it’s laborious to argue his case for Professional Bowl honors is superior to Goff’s.
Dallas Cowboys operating again Javonte Williams
Williams has been one of the improved gamers of the 2025 season, rising after a disappointing run with the Broncos as a reliable lead again. He is 141 yards shy of eclipsing his dashing yardage from the 2023 and 2024 seasons mixed, and has already established private highs throughout the board. Coming into Week 17, Williams has 239 carries, 1,147 dashing yards and 10 touchdowns on an offense that ranks No. 10 in yards per rush try, a 20-spot leap from 2024.
Participant we might swap out: San Francisco 49ers operating again Christian McCaffrey | McCaffrey justified his choice with one in all his finest seasons as a receiver, however we will not get previous his declining dashing totals. The nine-year operating again is averaging 3.7 yards per carry and ranks final amongst qualifying backs in rush yards over anticipated, gaining 180 yards lower than anticipated on 280 carries.

We do not blame voters for avoiding the Titans offense just like the plague, but it surely’s a disgrace that the unit’s lackluster season shrouded Skoronski’s robust 12 months. The 2023 first-round choose has blossomed into one of many AFC’s high inside linemen, rating No. 12 in ESPN’s pass-block win rate coming into Week 17.
The Titans additionally are tied for ninth in yards gained before contact per rush attempt. On the next rep in final Sunday’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs (6-9), Skoronski (No. 77) demonstrated his energy as a run-blocker, pulling to the best with spectacular velocity to safe a key block on the surface run idea.
