There are always a few players who should make the Pro Bowl but aren’t named in the initial AFC and NFC rosters. A year ago, Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner were among the biggest snubs.
With the full rosters for the 2024 season released Thursday morning, we asked NFL analysts Ben Solak and Seth Walder to pick the players who should be most disappointed to not make the AFC or NFC teams. In selecting snubs for the 2025 Pro Bowl, Solak and Walder broke them out into three categories:
-
Players who should be in — the glaring misses
-
Players who could be in — the guys with strong cases
-
Players who would be in most years — those with great seasons who were left out because rosters are limited (not technically snubs)
And because there are only so many spots on these rosters, we’re also selecting players for each of the snubs to replace. It’s only fair. Let’s dive in. (And remember, some of these snubs will still ultimately make the rosters as replacements for injured players and Super Bowl participants.)

Biggest snubs: Players who should be in
As the 2025 Pro Bowl approaches, fans and analysts are buzzing about potential snubs from the NFL all-star roster. With so much talent in the league, it’s inevitable that some deserving players will be left off the list. But who should have been included in the Pro Bowl lineup this year? Let’s take a look at some of the top players who were snubbed and deserve to be recognized as NFL all-stars in 2025:
1. Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers
Despite putting up impressive numbers and leading the Chargers to a successful season, Justin Herbert was surprisingly left off the Pro Bowl roster. With his arm strength, accuracy, and poise under pressure, Herbert has proven himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the league and should have been a no-brainer selection for the Pro Bowl.
2. Nick Bosa, DE, San Francisco 49ers
Nick Bosa has been a force to be reckoned with on the 49ers’ defensive line, wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks and offenses all season long. His ability to disrupt plays and make game-changing plays should have earned him a spot on the Pro Bowl roster this year.
3. D.K. Metcalf, WR, Seattle Seahawks
D.K. Metcalf has emerged as one of the most dominant wide receivers in the league, using his size, speed, and physicality to make big plays down the field. His explosive playmaking ability and knack for finding the end zone should have made him a shoo-in for the Pro Bowl this year.
4. Micah Parsons, LB, Dallas Cowboys
As a rookie, Micah Parsons has taken the league by storm with his versatility, athleticism, and playmaking ability. His impact on the Cowboys’ defense has been undeniable, and he deserved to be recognized as a Pro Bowl-caliber player in 2025.
These are just a few of the players who were snubbed from the 2025 Pro Bowl roster, but there are undoubtedly many more who deserve recognition as NFL all-stars. As the league continues to showcase its talent and depth, it’s clear that the competition for Pro Bowl spots will only get tougher in the years to come.
