Four Georgia Bulldogs have made the NFL Pro Bowl roster. The Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Pro Bowl is not what it used to be, but it is still a significant honor for some of the top players in the NFL.
The initial Pro Bowl roster always changes as a result of player injuries, teams advancing deep into the postseason and players opting out of the game. That means Georgia Bulldogs in the NFL who were snubbed from the original Pro Bowl roster still have a shot of making it.
What Georgia Bulldogs made the Pro Bowl? Who was snubbed from the Pro Bowl?
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford
Quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams have clinched the No. 6 seed in the NFC and will play in the postseason. Stafford bounced back after a tough 2022 season.
Stats: 3,965 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook
Bills running back James Cook has played a large role in Buffalo’s 10-6 season. The Bills have not wrapped up a playoff berth yet and need to beat the Miami Dolphins in Week 18 to ensure a postseason berth.
Stats: 1,086 rushing yards, 429 receiving yards and six total touchdowns
Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift
D’Andre Swift is fourth in the NFL in rushing yards. Swift and the Eagles will make the postseason. However, they have to win in Week 18 to have a chance at winning the NFC East.
Stats: 1,049 rushing yards, 214 receiving yards and six total touchdowns
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith
Baltimore linebacker Roquan Smith and the Ravens have secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Baltimore will have a first-round bye and should have a favorable path to make the Super Bowl, so he may not actually play in the Pro Bowl.
Stats: 158 total tackles, eight pass deflections, 1.5 sacks and one interception
Snub: wide receiver George Pickens
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens deserves to make the Pro Bowl. Pickens has 34.9% of Pittsburgh’s receiving yardage despite a revolving door at quarterback. Pickens could still make the Pro Bowl as an alternate, but he stands out as a snub.
Stats: 1,140 receiving yards, 63 receptions and five touchdowns
Snub: defensive end Travon Walker
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker has an argument to be in the Pro Bowl. The former No. 1 pick has helped Jacksonville lead the AFC South entering Week 18.
Stats: 50 tackles and 9 sacks
Snub: defensive tackle Jalen Carter
Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (minus-225) is favored to win the NFL defensive rookie of the year award. Carter is very disruptive and is the NFL’s third-highest graded rookie entering Week 18 according to Pro Football Focus. Carter and the Eagles will play in the NFL playoffs.
Stats: 30 tackles, six sacks and two forced fumbles
