The 2024 Pro Bowl Games take place on Sunday, Feb. 4 in Orlando, Fl. Which NFL players most deserve to be honored with a spot? Our NFL staff voted on the most deserving NFC and AFC players and wrote about what made them stand out.
Quarterbacks
NFC QB: Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers
AFC QB: Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
Ben Arthur: It’s hard to argue against Mahomes remaining the undisputed best quarterback in football, despite the offensive issues and frustrations in Kansas City this season. That’s why he’s AFC QB1. But Purdy has been the best quarterback in the NFL this year and may win MVP.

McCaffrey has a shot to be the first running back to win the league’s MVP award since Adrian Peterson in 2012. Mostert (966 rushing yards) should eclipse the 1,000-yard mark this weekend and leads the NFL with a franchise-record 18 rushing touchdowns.
Wide receivers
NFC WR1: A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles
NFC WR2: CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys
NFC WR3: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions
Ralph Vacchiano: Both Brown and Lamb are having historic seasons. Lamb became the first NFL WR ever to top 10 catches and 150 yards in three straight games. Brown became the first to top 125 receiving yards in six…
