With fan voting now open, running back Josh Jacobs and safety Xavier McKinney represent the most likely members of the Green Bay Packers to be voted to the Pro Bowl for the 2024 season.
Jacobs has 987 rushing yards in 12 games and trails only Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry among NFL players in rushing yards. McKinney is currently tied for the NFL lead with seven interceptions. The two prized free agent additions have been vital players for the Packers, who are now 9-3 and closing in on a playoff spot with five games to go. Both should be near locks for the Pro Bowl, and McKinney has a terrific opportunity to be a first-team All-Pro.
Who else on the Packers roster might have a chance at the Pro Bowl this year?
Tight end Tucker Kraft ranks second at his position in touchdown catches with six and first in missed tackles forced with 13. Behind George Kittle, the NFC lacks another dominant tight end option, possibly opening the door for Kraft if he can keep scoring touchdowns down the stretch.
Right tackle Zach Tom should be a Pro Bowler. By overall grade at PFF, Tom ranks sixth among all offensive tackles, including the fourth-best run-blocking grade. He has become a dominant player at a premium position but might lack the big-name status often required of becoming a Pro Bowler, especially in a conference with so many quality and well-known offensive tackles.
It’s hard to imagine any other player has the combination of performance, production and name recognition to make the Pro Bowl, although it’s possible a late season push from a big name such as Jordan Love or Rashan Gary or even Keisean Nixon as a returner could do it. Love was injured and has missed three games, Gary started the season slow and Nixon’s impact as a kickoff returner has been limited. Jaire Alexander might have had a chance after a strong start, but he’s missed significant time to injury this season. Jayden Reed should go over 1,000 total yards and score double-digit touchdowns, but the receiver pool is so deep in high-end producers. Daniel Whelan is having a nice season, but who outside Green Bay knows he’s the Packers punter?
Last year, the Packers didn’t have a Pro Bowler on the initial roster. Kenny Clark was a late addition as an alternate.
The 2025 Pro Bowl Games will be held in Orlando, Florida starting on Jan. 30, 2025. On Sunday, Feb. 3, a flag football championship between the NFC and AFC will start at 3:00 p.m. EST.
