Georgia football is making its presence felt in the NFL-and the Pro Bowl Games are the latest stage where that dominance is on full display.
Six former Bulldogs have been named to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games roster, the most of any school in the FBS. That’s not just a stat-it’s a statement.
Georgia isn’t just producing NFL talent; it’s producing elite-level, top-of-the-league kind of talent. And with the Pro Bowl set for February in San Francisco, just a week before Super Bowl LX, the Bulldogs’ alumni will be front and center.
Leading the charge is Matthew Stafford. The veteran quarterback is turning back the clock with the kind of season that puts him squarely in the MVP conversation.
He’s thrown for 4,179 yards and 40 touchdowns-numbers that not only lead the league but also remind us why he’s long been one of the most gifted arms in football. Stafford’s connection with his receivers has been clinical, and his command of the Rams' offense is as sharp as ever.
On the other side of the ball, Roquan Smith continues to anchor one of the NFL’s most physical defenses. The Ravens linebacker has racked up 124 tackles this season, and it’s not just the volume-it’s the impact.
Smith is everywhere, from stuffing the run to locking down tight ends in coverage. He’s the heartbeat of a Baltimore defense that’s built its identity around speed, aggression, and discipline-and Smith embodies all three.
Then there’s the new wave of Georgia stars who are wasting no time making their mark.
Brock Bowers, the dynamic tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders, is headed to the Pro Bowl for the second straight year. His mix of size, speed, and hands makes him a matchup nightmare, and he’s quickly become a go-to option in the Raiders’ offense. Whether he’s stretching the seam or dragging defenders after the catch, Bowers is proving he belongs among the league’s best.
Jalen Carter, the Philadelphia Eagles’ disruptive defensive tackle, is also making his second Pro Bowl appearance in as many seasons. Carter’s ability to collapse the pocket from the interior has been a major asset for Philly, and he’s showing why he was such a highly touted prospect coming out of Athens. His explosiveness off the snap and relentless motor have made life miserable for opposing quarterbacks all season long.
James Cook, now a three-time Pro Bowler with the Buffalo Bills, continues to be a key piece in one of the AFC’s most potent offenses. His versatility as a runner and pass-catcher gives Buffalo flexibility and firepower. He’s the kind of back who can change the game in one play-whether it’s slipping through a crease or breaking free on a wheel route.
And let’s not overlook George Pickens, who’s enjoying a breakout year with the Dallas Cowboys. This is his first Pro Bowl nod, and it’s well-earned.
Pickens has been a highlight reel waiting to happen-making acrobatic catches, stretching the field, and bringing a physical edge to the Cowboys’ receiving corps. He’s showing the kind of growth and consistency that turns potential into production.
This year marks the third edition of the revamped Pro Bowl Games, a format shift the NFL introduced to bring more excitement and fan engagement to the annual showcase. And with six Georgia Bulldogs earning their place among the league’s elite, it’s clear that the pipeline from Athens to the pros is not just alive-it’s thriving.
From seasoned vets to rising stars, Georgia’s footprint on the NFL stage has never looked stronger.
