Looking at the biggest snubs from the 2025 Pro Bowl- Source: Imagn

The 2025 Pro Bowl is due to take place this weekend and the NFL's best players will be celebrated with a series of contests throughout the weekend. Making the Pro Bowl is an important achievement for many athletes, as they're voted into the Bowl by players, coaches and fans.

Players voted to the 2025 Pro Bowl include the likes of Saquon Barkley and Ja'Marr Chase, who have earned their inclusion, but some of the stars of the 2025 season will be missing this weekend. Here's a look at some of the big names who did not make the Pro Bowl this year.

Rams star running back Kyren Williams missed out on a Pro Bowl selection despite putting up career-highs in both yards and touchdowns. Williams gained 1,481 total yards and 17 total TDs across the regular season and playoffs in what was an excellent season for both Williams and the Rams who won the NFC West.

#4 - CB Trent McDuffie, Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs star CB Trent McDuffie has established himself as one of the best corners in the NFL, but missed out on a Pro Bowl vote for the second straight season despite once again being named All-Pro. McDuffie has become a lockdown corner, and his 83.1 PFF grade is third amongst all cornerbacks in the NFL, making his Pro Bowl omission a huge surprise.

#3 - DT Zach Allen, Denver Broncos

A pivotal part of an excellent Broncos defense, DT Zach Allen can count himself unlucky to miss out on the Pro Bowl. Allen had 8.5 sacks, 51 pass rush wins and his 16% pass rush win rate is third amongst all players at his position. He was also voted as an All-Pro this year, making his Pro Bowl snub even more puzzling.

#2 - WR Puka Nacua, L.A. Rams

If Puka Nacua hadn't missed time through injury, he'd definitely be in the Pro Bowl voting. Nacua only played in 11 games but still put up excellent numbers. He was targeted on 40% of his routes on his way to amassing 990 yards and three TDs on 79 receptions.

His yards per route run (3.7) is well ahead of teammate Cooper Kupp's tally when he won the triple crown with his insane 2021 season when he nearly hit 2,000 yards.

#1 - S Kerby Joseph, Detroit Lions

Lions safety Kerby Joseph led the NFL in interceptions and was voted first-team All-Pro but somehow missed out on the Pro Bowl. Unfortunately for Joseph, the Pro Bowl only allows for one free safety per conference and he missed out in favor of Packers S Xavier McKinney.

However, stats proved Joseph was more productive than McKinney as Joseph had nine interceptions and 11 passes defensed to McKinney's seven and 10 respectively.
