Six Seahawks Earn Spots in 2026 Pro Bowl Games
The Seattle Seahawks have demonstrated formidable performance in the NFL during the 2025 season. With 12 wins out of 15 games, they secured a playoff berth and currently lead the NFC West. This impressive track record has translated into significant recognition for the team at the upcoming 2026 Pro Bowl Games.
Seahawks Shine at 2026 Pro Bowl Games
Six players from the Seahawks have earned spots on the NFC roster for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games, announced on Tuesday. The selected athletes are:
- Quarterback Sam Darnold
- Outside Linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence
- Kick Returner Rashid Shaheed
- Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba
- Cornerback Devon Witherspoon
- Defensive Tackle Leonard Williams
Among these selections, four athletes—Shaheed, Smith-Njigba, Witherspoon, and Williams—have been named starters.
Details of the Pro Bowl Games
The 2026 Pro Bowl Games are set to take place on February 3, featuring a 7-on-7 flag football match. This year’s event is particularly notable as it will occur in San Francisco during Super Bowl LX festivities in nearby Santa Clara, marking a historic integration of the Pro Bowl into the Super Bowl week.
Franchise Recognition
This year’s six Pro Bowl selections tie for the second highest total in Seahawks history. Previously, six Seahawks teams set the record with seven Pro Bowlers in 1984, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2020. The teams from 2007 and 2013 also achieved six selections.
The composition of the Seahawks’ Pro Bowl roster includes players from various acquisition strategies. Darnold and Lawrence joined the team as free-agent signings, while Shaheed was obtained through a midseason trade. Meanwhile, Witherspoon and Smith-Njigba were 2023 first-round draft picks, and Williams came through a trade.
This achievement not only highlights individual talent but also underscores the collective strength and potential of the Seahawks as they aim for further success in the playoffs.
