The NFL announced its 2026 Pro Bowl rosters for both the AFC and NFC on Tuesday morning. Each conference's team is made up of 44 players—21 on offense, 18 on defense, and five on special teams—with selections coming from all but three teams across the league.
While all 88 players are more than deserving of the nod, plenty more were left on the outside looking in. As is the case every year, a combination of logjams at certain positions, voting bias, and a bevy of other factors has led to several standout players being left off of this season's list.
