All four of them will be making return trips to the Pro Bowl as they continued to be among the NFL’s best players at their respective positions this season.
Bosa earns his fourth consecutive and fifth overall Pro Bowl selection, having recorded 52 tackles with nine sacks, 15 tackles for loss and an interception in 13 games this season. The San Francisco 49ers defensive end would record his fourth consecutive double-digit sack season if he can record a sack in their season finale against the Arizona Cardinals.
Heyward will make his seventh Pro Bowl appearance having recorded 70 total tackles with eight sacks, 12 tackles and pass breakups while playing in all 16 of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ games this season. Despite turning 35 in May, Heyward continues to be one of the NFL’s elite interior defensive linemen.
McLaurin is selected as a Pro Bowler for the second time amid a career year. The former Ohio State wide receiver has caught 74 passes for 1,034 yards and a career-high 12 touchdowns this season, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth straight season while leading the Washington Commanders to their first playoff berth since 2020.
Ward will make his fourth Pro Bowl appearance, tying the most Pro Bowl selections all-time for a Cleveland Browns cornerback. The former Ohio State cornerback leads the NFL with 19 passes defensed this season.
The Pro Bowl Games will begin on Jan. 30 and conclude on Feb. 2 with a flag football game and other competitions at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The Pro Bowl Games will air on ESPN from 7-8:30 p.m. on Jan. 30 and from 3-6 p.m. on ABC and ESPN on Feb. 2.
