For a long time, the story around Matthew Stafford’s Pro Bowl history has been that there isn’t one. A quarterback who some are saying belongs in the Hall of Fame, Stafford has only been named to the Pro Bowl twice in the first 16 seasons of his career. Agree with that or not, think the Pro Bowl is “dumb” or not, you can’t deny that it’s an incredible stat: 2 career Pro Bowls for a quarterback who many believe belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Stafford is guaranteed to get his third career Pro Bowl nod in 2025 though and he’s second among all QBs in Pro Bowl votes, behind only overall leader Drake Maye.
Stafford is 7th overall in Pro Bowl votes, but does this indicate that writers will see Maye as the 2025 NFL MVP?
Stafford is also behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Micah Parsons, Jonathan Taylor, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Christian McCaffrey.
Other Rams in the top-10 of Pro Bowl voting for their position:
Puka Nacua is third among all wide receivers, but Davante Adams didn’t crack the top-10 despite leading the league in touchdowns. Remarkably, you do see names like Wan’Dale Robinson and Rome Odunze in the top-10.
Kam Curl leads all strong safeties in Pro Bowl votes, potentially leading to his first career nod, but Kam Kinchens didn’t make the top-10 at free safety. Cobie Durant is 5th and Emmanuel Forbes is 6th among cornerbacks, an indication that votes were counted before Sunday’s loss to the Panthers. Quentin Lake is nowhere to be found.
Nate Landman is third among linebackers.
Ethan Evans is ninth among punters.
Shaun Dolac is ninth among special teamers.
Byron Young is third and Jared Verse is fifth among all outside linebackers.
Kyren Williams did not rank among the top-10 running backs. No offensive linemen on the Rams were in their top-10 votes.
And despite high expectations for the interior of the defensive line, Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske, and Poona Ford haven’t made enough of a mark with fans to be ranked in the top-10 at defensive tackle.
Who is the biggest snub? Who ranked higher than you expected? The Rams will be represented at the Pro Bowl (or on Pro Bowl lists at least, even if they make the Super Bowl) and Stafford surely will be one of those players. Something that is a lot more rare than you would think.
