Four Pittsburgh Steelers will make the 2025 Pro Bowl roster

Four Pittsburgh Steelers will make the 2025 Pro Bowl roster

Voting for the 2025 Pro Bowl games is complete and a total of four Pittsburgh Steelers players have made the cut and all four are listed as starters.

The four Steelers selected to the Pro Bowl are kicker Chris Boswell, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, defensive lineman Cameron Heyward and edge rusher TJ Watt. Selection occurs at second, fifth, seventh and seventh place positions in their respective careers.

Boswell is having a sensational season, hitting 40 of 43 field goal attempts, including a whopping 12 of 50-plus. The Steelers kicker was also named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week and AFC Special Teams Player of the Month twice each.

After a missed season due to injury in 2023, many thought Heyward was on the decline heading into the 2024 season. But he’s proven that assumption to be absolutely wrong, as Heyward is having one of the best seasons of his career.

Heyward’s eight sacks are the fifth-most of his career and he ranks first, third and fifth among interior defensive linemen in Pro Football Focus total (90.2), pass rush (86.6) and run defense (86.6).

In what is considered a bad year for him, Watt still ranks fourth with 11.5 sacks. He also added 61 tackles, four passes defended, six forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Fitzpatrick can also be viewed as someone who is in the midst of a down year because he hasn’t been as productive as he has been in years past, especially when it comes to turnovers. But few would disagree that Fitzpatrick is still one of the best safeties in the NFL.

In recent years, the NFL has replaced the traditional Pro Bowl competition with skills competitions and a flag football game, both of which will take place the week before the Super Bowl.

The 2025 Pro Bowl Games will take place in Orlando, with the Skills Showdown on Thursday, January 30th and the Pro Bowl Games Championship on Sunday, February 2nd.
