Six Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks were selected for the Pro Bowl Games.
The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, along with the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers, are sending five players.
Safety Kyle Hamilton, inside linebacker Roquan Smith, fullback Patrick Ricard and punter Jordan Stout will represent the Ravens as starters for the AFC, and wide receiver Zay Flowers and center Tyler Linderbaum also made the roster.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson, tight end Mark Andrews and running back Derrick Henry were voted as Pro Bowl alternates.
Hamilton, who earned his third straight Pro Bowl honor, is the NFL’s only safety to record at least 90 tackles (92), one sack (one), two forced fumbles (two), five passes defensed (eight) and five tackles for loss (seven). He’s the only Ravens defensive back to earn three Pro Bowl nods within the first four years of his career.
Smith, who’s made four straight Pro Bowls, has a team-high 124 tackles (74 solo) and is tied for 11th in the NFL overall despite missing two games because of injury. He has five tackles for loss, four quarterback hits, three passes defensed and one fumble recovery.
Ricard, who was honored despite missing the first six games of the season with a calf injury, is the seventh player in Ravens history to be selected to at least six Pro Bowls, joining inside linebacker Ray Lewis (13), offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden (11), safety Ed Reed (nine), guard Marshal Yanda (eight), outside linebacker Terrell Suggs (seven) and kicker Justin Tucker (seven).
Stout, a pending free agent, earned his first Pro Bowl honor with a breakthrough season. He ranks first in the NFL in net punting average (44.9 yards) and third in gross average (50.5), both of which would be single-season franchise records.
Flowers, who’s made the Pro Bowl in two straight years, has 78 catches for 1,043 yards and two touchdowns this season, the third-most receiving yards in the AFC and ninth overall. He’s just the third Raven ever to record 1,000 receiving yards in back-to-back seasons.
Linderbaum, a pending free agent who made his third straight Pro Bowl roster, ranks fourth among interior linemen in ESPN’s pass block win rate and has helped steady an offensive line paving the way for the NFL’s third-ranked rushing attack (147.9 yards per game).
Reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen, Drake Maye and Justin Herbert are the AFC quarterbacks. Sam Darnold, Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford are the QBs for the NFC.

Kansas City’s Travis Kelce was selected for his 11th Pro Bowl, tied with Jason Witten for the second-most among tight ends, behind only Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez (14).
Nineteen players were chosen for the first time, including Eagles cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, Dolphins running back De’Von Achane and Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens.
Chargers tackle Joe Alt was selected even though he played only six games before sustaining a season-ending ankle injury.
The AFC South-leading Jacksonville Jaguars (11-4) only had one player selected: long snapper Ross Matiscik.
The Jets, Saints and Vikings were the only teams without a representative.
San Francisco’s Kyle Juszczyk is heading to his 10th Pro Bowl, the most ever by a fullback. Niners left tackle Trent Williams is the fourth offensive lineman selected to 12 Pro Bowls since 1970, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Bruce Matthews (14), Randall McDaniel (12) and Will Shields (12).
Colts guard Quenton Nelson is the second offensive lineman to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first eight career seasons since 1970, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Thomas (10).
Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase is the third wide receiver to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first five seasons since 1970, joining Tyreek Hill (8) and A.J. Green (7).
Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons is the first defensive player to be named to the Pro Bowl in each of his first five career seasons since Aaron Donald (10).
Jalen Ramsey, a seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback, made it as a free safety in his first season with the Steelers.
Player selections were determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches, with each group’s vote counting as one-third toward the total tally.
This is the fourth year of the Pro Bowl Games after the NFL eliminated its full-contact all-star game and replaced it with weeklong skills competitions and a flag football game.
The events will be played in San Francisco ahead of the Super Bowl. Pro Football Hall of Famers Jerry Rice (NFC) and Steve Young (AFC) will coach the teams in the flag football showdown on Feb. 3.
