Lions safety Kerby Joseph reportedly snubbed from 2025 Pro Bowl roster
The 2025 NFL Pro Bowl roster is expected to be released on Thursday, and according to one report, one of the most deserving Detroit Lions players will not be on that list. Per the Detroit Free Press, Lions safety Kerby Joseph will not be named a Pro Bowler this year.
Joseph was one of 19 Lions players who finished in the top-five at his position in fan Pro Bowl votes. In fact, he received more fan votes than any other free safety. However, Pro Bowl rosters are determined by three, equally-weighted factors: fan votes, player votes, and coaches votes. That means Joseph wasn’t carried enough by his peers.
It’s one of the rare times in which the fans had it right, and the people inside NFL organizations didn’t because Joseph was more than worthy of the honors. He currently leads the NFL with nine interceptions, has the highest PFF grade of any NFL safety (90.7), and the highest coverage grade of any defensive back (91.5).
“Man, he came up in a big way,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said of Joseph after his two-interception performance on Monday night against the 49ers. “Not just that, the picks, he had some critical tackles in this game, and (he) just really showed up for us.”
On the season, Joseph 77 tackles, one tackle for loss, 12 passes defended and nine interceptions. Since entering the league in 2022, no one has more interceptions (17) than Joseph.
Joseph appeared to react to the news on Wednesday night via Twitter:
Pro Bowl roster are expected to be released in full at 9 a.m. ET on Thursday.
The NFL Pro Bowl is a prestigious event where the best players in the league are recognized for their talents and achievements. However, it seems that Lions safety Kerby Joseph has been snubbed from the 2025 Pro Bowl roster.
Despite an impressive season where Joseph has shown his skills on the field, it appears that he has been overlooked by the selection committee. Fans and analysts alike are questioning the decision, as Joseph has been a standout player for the Lions throughout the season.
Many believe that Joseph’s snub is a disservice to his hard work and dedication to the game. His absence from the Pro Bowl roster is a disappointment for both him and Lions fans who were hoping to see him represent the team on a national stage.
Hopefully, this snub will only serve as motivation for Joseph to continue to prove his worth and earn a spot in future Pro Bowls. In the meantime, Lions fans will have to wait and see if Joseph can use this as fuel to elevate his game even further in the seasons to come.
