Steelers QB Russell Wilson recalls first Pro Bowl with Ben Roethlisberger

On Tuesday, Russell Wilson was named to the 10th Pro Bowl of his 13-year career — replacing Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen.

Wilson joins fellow Steelers Isaac Seumalo, Cam Heyward, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Chris Boswell, and Miles Killebrew.

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, last named a Pro Bowler in 2021, recalled the honor he received his first year in the NFL.

“It’s a blessing,” Wilson said from the 2025 Pro Bowl in Orlando. “I remember being here my rookie year and being around guys like Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton and Eli Manning. And I remember how grateful I was. Ten Pro Bowls later, it’s still a blessing.”

Despite the Steelers’ five-game skid to close out the 2024 season, Wilson finished with a respectable 2,752 passing yards, 18 TDs, and five interceptions in 12 games. It could be his one and only in the Black and Gold, as the Steelers are expected to re-sign Justin Fields to lead the team in 2025. Wherever Wilson goes — and it could be Las Vegas — it’ll be his third team in as many seasons.
