Steelers Have Third-Most Pro Bowlers of Any NFL Team

The Pittsburgh Steelers finished tied for the third-most players of any team selected to the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games.
After a number of players backed out due to injury, and replacements were found for the players on the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles that will instead be participating in Super Bowl LIX, the NFL finalized the rosters on Tuesday.
The Steelers were left with seven Pro Bowlers, tied for the third-most of any team. The Baltimore Ravens had the most with 11, followed by the Detroit Lions with eight and the Steelers and Minnesota Vikings with seven.
The Steelers had four players initially voted into the lineup: kicker Chris Boswell, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, defensive tackle Cam Heyward and outside linebacker T.J. Watt. Watt pulled out due to a late-season ankle injury. Special teamer Miles Killebrew, guard Isaac Seumalo and quarterback Russell Wilson were all named as alternates.

In the final tally, all players selected to the game, whether they’ll actually be participating this week or not, are counted.
The seven Pro Bowlers are the most by the Steelers since 2018, when they had eight. It’s the eighth-most all-time for the steelers, who had 11 in 1976, 10 in 1980 and 1979, nine in 2005 and 1977 and eight in 1974 and 1954.
The 2025 Pro Bowl Games start on Thursday night with a televised skill competition, followed by flag football tournament on Sunday at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
