The NFL is not holding a physical 2021 Pro Bowl to close the season, but there will be something to celebrate the best in the league. The NFL partnered with EA SPORTS to create a Pro Bowl experience using Madden NFL 21.
And so that means we get Pro Bowl rosters. Well, that and the fact that player contracts have bonuses connected to getting voted to the Pro Bowl, so they weren’t going to just ignore it entirely.
The final tally is complete and the NFL announced 2021 Pro Bowl rosters on Monday evening. Voting consisted of fan, player, and coach voting, with each counting one-third the final tally. The All Pro teams are a better indicator of the best-of-the-best, but Pro Bowl honors are still worth noting and celebrating.
26 players on this year’s rosters are making their first appearance in the Pro Bowl. Additionally, the NFC team include two rookies: defensive end Chase Young and wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Finally, four of the six quarterbacks are under the age of 26, which is pretty cool. Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson are the two grizzled veterans.
Players in bold are the starters.
