Three Steelers Named To 2026 Pro Bowl
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a strong showing at the 2026 Pro Bowl, with three of their players selected: EDGE T.J. Watt, FS Jalen Ramsey, and special teamer Ben Skowronek. This marks the 25th consecutive season that the Steelers have sent multiple representatives to the Pro Bowl, a remarkable achievement in the NFL.
T.J. Watt, a defensive powerhouse, leads the team with seven sacks despite a recent lung injury that has kept him out of the last two games. His impressive performance includes 53 tackles, 10 for a loss, 18 QB hits, seven pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and one interception. Watt's eight Pro Bowl selections tie him with legendary Steelers like Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, and Troy Polamalu, making him a cornerstone of the team's defense.
Jalen Ramsey, a versatile player, made a seamless transition from cornerback to safety midseason. He has 77 tackles, four for a loss, three sacks, and one interception, showcasing his adaptability and impact on both sides of the ball. This is also his eighth Pro Bowl appearance, solidifying his status as a defensive elite.
Ben Skowronek, a special teams standout, earned his first Pro Bowl selection after a strong season. His online campaign and viral highlights, promoted by the NFL, have made him a fan favorite. Skowronek has recorded 20 tackles, 10 solo, across 279 special teams snaps, proving his value as a key contributor on special teams. He even caught the team's first touchdown of the season, showcasing his versatility.
Notable Steelers who missed out on the Pro Bowl this year include QB Aaron Rodgers, C Zach Frazier, DL Cam Heyward, EDGEs Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig, and K Chris Boswell. The 2026 Pro Bowl Games will take place on February 3, 2026, in California, with an integrated approach to the Super Bowl to draw more attention and bridge the gap between the two events.
