The first wave of fan voting for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games is in, and if there's one thing that's clear, it's that Packers fans are showing up in force. Green Bay has 15 players sitting among the top 10 at their respective positions - and in one case, a player is ranked in the top 10 at multiple spots. That kind of across-the-board presence speaks volumes about both the team’s popularity and the performance of some key contributors this season.
Micah Parsons Leads the Charge
At the top of the list is defensive end Micah Parsons, who’s not just leading all defensive players in fan votes - he’s among the top 10 overall in the entire league. With 25,155 votes already tallied, Parsons is proving to be a fan favorite, and it’s easy to see why.
His combination of speed, power, and relentless motor has been a nightmare for opposing offenses all year. He’s the kind of player who doesn’t just rack up sacks - he changes the tone of games.
Packers Players in the Pro Bowl Voting Top 10
Here’s a breakdown of the Packers players currently sitting in the top 10 by position:
- DE Micah Parsons - 1st
- LS Matt Orzech - 1st
- SPT Evan Williams - 1st
- FS Evan Williams - 4th
- C Sean Rhyan - 5th
- SS Xavier McKinney - 5th
- P Daniel Whelan - 6th
- OT Zach Tom - 7th
- DE Rashan Gary - 7th
- RET Savion Williams - 7th
- QB Jordan Love - 8th
- RB Josh Jacobs - 8th
- DT Devonte Wyatt - 8th
- OT Rasheed Walker - 10th
- ILB Edgerrin Cooper - 10th
- CB Keisean Nixon - 10th
That’s a long list, and it speaks to the depth of talent on this Packers roster - but it also opens the door for some interesting conversations around how players are being evaluated.
Position Confusion at Safety
One of the more puzzling aspects of the current voting results is how the league is classifying the Packers’ safeties. Evan Williams, who’s been playing primarily as the drop-down safety - typically a strong safety role - is listed as a free safety and currently sits fourth in voting there. Meanwhile, Xavier McKinney, who’s been handling more of the deep single-high responsibilities, is being slotted as a strong safety and ranks fifth.
The roles these two are playing on the field don’t match the labels they’ve been given in the voting, and that misclassification could potentially impact their chances. It’s a reminder that while fan voting is a great way to engage the public, it’s not always the most precise tool when it comes to positional nuance.
Surprising Names and Snubs
Sean Rhyan’s fifth-place ranking at center is another eye-opener. Rhyan only moved to the position in Week 10 following Elgton Jenkins’ injury, yet he’s already gaining traction in the fan vote. Whether that’s a testament to his quick adjustment or the power of Packers Nation is up for debate, but it’s certainly notable.
Then there’s the case of cornerback Keisean Nixon, who’s ranked 10th at his position. While Nixon has had his moments, there’s a strong argument to be made that Carrington Valentine has been the more consistent performer this season. It’s a similar story at linebacker, where Edgerrin Cooper makes the top 10, but Quay Walker - who’s been a steady presence in the middle - is left out.
What the Voting Really Means
It’s important to remember that the Pro Bowl rosters aren’t decided by fan votes alone. The final selections are split evenly between fans, players, and coaches, each group carrying one-third of the weight. So while Packers fans are clearly doing their part to support their team, that doesn’t guarantee a trip to Orlando for everyone currently in the top 10.
Take long snapper Matt Orzech, for example. He’s sitting at the top of his position group right now, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a lock. Coaches and players will have their say, and they tend to look at more than just the ballot box when making their picks.
Final Stretch of Voting
The Pro Bowl fan vote remains open for the next two weeks, so there’s still time for movement up and down the leaderboards. Whether it’s a late surge from a deserving player or a shift in how certain positions are viewed, the final rosters are far from set.
But for now, one thing is clear: the Packers are making noise - and not just on Sundays. Their fans are turning out in force, and their players are earning recognition. Whether that results in a Pro Bowl takeover remains to be seen, but Green Bay is firmly in the mix.
