2025 Pro Bowl: Lions’ Kerby Joseph, Eagles’ Jordan Mailata, Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield among biggest snubs

The NFL announced the initial Pro Bowl rosters on Thursday, and there are always going to be snubs for the league’s all-star event. 

Player selections for the AFC and NFC rosters for the Pro Bowl were determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches, with each group’s vote counting as one-third toward determining the all-star players. The selection process isn’t only determined by fans, as many are led to believe. 

With this in mind, and the limited availability of each position, here are the biggest Pro Bowl snubs.

The league leader in interceptions (9), Joseph was snubbed of his first Pro Bowl appearance. Opposing quarterbacks targeting Joseph have just a 44.0 passer rating against him, best in the league for any player that has 600+ coverage snaps. 

The Lions are 14-2, and one of their best players wasn’t recognized for his best season. Joseph is one of the best safeties in the NFL this year. Xavier McKinney, Budda Baker and brian Branch were the NFC safeties selected.
