The Professional Bowl rosters have been finalizes following withdrawals from Tremendous Bowl contributors and different gamers who’ve been pressured to/determined to name it a season because of accidents, and there’s a good presence of present and former Seahawks.
As talked about earlier on Tuesday, the Seattle Seahawks could have three gamers included within the Professional Bowl Video games as a substitute of two. Devon Witherspoon was initially the lone participant, however each Leonard Williams and second-year huge receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba have been added as alternates.
Talking of alternates, former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has made the AFC Professional Bowl roster after the Buffalo Payments’ Josh Allen withdrew from the competitors. That is Wilson’s first Professional Bowl look since he was traded by the Seahawks again in 2022. Together with alternate alternatives, that is Wilson’s tenth Professional Bowl look of his profession.
Having missed the primary seven video games of the common season because of harm, Wilson threw 16 touchdowns and 5 interceptions over his 11 begins with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The majority of his higher stats got here throughout Pittsburgh’s 6-1 begin earlier than all of it got here crashing down with a five-game dropping streak between the common season and playoffs. I feel we all know neither he nor Drake Maye, the opposite AFC Professional Bowl QB alternate with Lamar Jackson out, had what would represent “Professional Bowl” caliber seasons. Bo Nix and C.J. Stroud had been different alternates however weren’t out there. I’m unsure how for much longer the Professional Bowl format will dwell, to be sincere.
Wilson is an impending free agent and if he doesn’t re-sign with the Steelers, it’s been speculated that he might reunite with Pete Carroll and play for the Las Vegas Raiders.
One other former Seahawk set to play within the Professional Bowl is Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner, who changed Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun because of Baun making the Tremendous Bowl at Wagner’s expense.
The Professional Bowl Video games shall be televised on ABC and ESPN from Orlando on Sunday, Feb. 2 from midday to three PM PT.
