Super Bowl LIX is set, which means next week’s Pro Bowl Games rosters are also set. Quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin will represent the Washington Commanders in Orlando, Florida.
With the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, a linebacker spot opened up and Bobby Wagner will join Daniels and McLaurin in Orlando. Originally named a first-alternate, this will be Wagner’s 10th Pro Bowl in his 13-year NFL career.
Wagner finished his first season in Washington with 132 tackles, including 10 for loss, two sacks, four passes defended, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. He went over 100 tackles for the 13th consecutive season, tying London Fletcher’s NFL record. Fletcher, of course, is a Washington legend and a current Commanders’ broadcaster.
Make that 🔟 Pro Bowls for @Bwagz

The Commanders are coming off their best season since 1991, going 12-5 in the regular season and winning two road playoff games before losing to the Eagles in the NFC championship game.
Wagner’s impact went far beyond what he produced on the field, as he was a central figure in head coach Dan Quinn’s mission to change the franchise’s culture. The plan worked out well for everyone involved.
