The NFL Pro Bowl will be live on your television sets this Sunday, and we’ve got your look at who will be on the field. As usual, there are injury opt outs and those players who made it to the Super Bowl will be doing Super Bowl things instead. That doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty of star power though.

In the AFC, we’ll get Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, Jonathan Taylor, Nick Chubb and Najee Harris at running back and Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, Diontae Johnson at wide receiver and Mark Andrews and Travis Kelce at tight end.

Here’s a look at the starters for the AFC team heading into the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl.
