Three Bengals voted to AFC Pro Bowl team

The NFL today announced that Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Ja’Marr Chase and DE Trey Hendrickson have been voted to the AFC team for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.

Chase and Hendrickson were voted as starters at their respective positions. This marks the fourth consecutive, and fourth career, Pro Bowl selection for both players. Burrow receives the honor for the second time in his career.

Burrow, a fifth-year player out of Louisiana State University, leads the NFL this season in completions (423), passing attempts (606), passing yards (4641) and TD passes (42), while ranking third in passer rating (109.8) and fifth in completion percentage (69.8). His completions total, passing yardage and TD passes each are a Bengals single-season record. He has passed for at least 250 yards and three TDs in each of his last eight games, the longest streak in NFL history. Burrow’s previous Pro Bowl selection came in the 2022 season.

Chase, a fourth-year player out of Louisiana State, leads the NFL this season in receptions (117), receiving yards (1612) and receiving TDs (16). His receptions total and receiving yardage also are Bengals single-season records. He has recorded 100 or more yards in five games, matching a career high and tying for the second-most such games in team history. He is the second player in team history to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first four seasons, joining WR A.J. Green (2011-14).

Hendrickson, an eighth-year player out of Florida Atlantic University, is tied for the NFL lead in sacks this season (14), while also totaling 41 tackles, five PDs and two FFs. He has recorded at least one sack in seven games, including Week 9 vs. Las Vegas, when he posted a career-high four sacks to earn AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. His 14 sacks are tied for the third-most in a season in team history.

Chase and Hendrickson are the 11th and 12th players in Bengals history to be voted to the Pro Bowl four times.

Additionally, two Bengals have been voted as alternates for the AFC team. HB Chase Brown is a third alternate and OT Orlando Brown Jr. is a fourth alternate. Alternates are added to the event if voted player(s) in their position group are unable to participate. Selections from the two teams reaching the Super Bowl will be among those unable to play, as will players who are not cleared due to injury.
