Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin Selected for 2025 Pro Bowl
The NFL announced this morning that quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin have been named to the 2025 Pro Bowl as primary selections.
This marks the first time Washington has sent two offensive players to the Pro Bowl since 2017, when T Trent Williams and G Brandon Scherff were chosen. Additionally, it’s the first time the team has had both a quarterback and a wide receiver selected in the same season since 1991, when Mark Rypien and Gary Clark earned the honor.
Washington had no Pro Bowl representatives last season, but now Daniels and McLaurin will represent the team in this year’s event. Prior to 2024, the team had at least two Pro Bowlers every year from 2016 to 2022.
Daniels was selected as the primary quarterback for the NFC, earning his first Pro Bowl nod. He becomes the first Washington rookie quarterback to be named to the Pro Bowl since Robert Griffin III in 2012 and the first rookie overall since Chase Young in 2020. Daniels joins a prestigious list of quarterbacks in franchise history to achieve this honor, including Joe Theismann, Kirk Cousins, and Mark Rypien.
McLaurin, a primary wide receiver selection for the NFC, earned his second Pro Bowl appearance. He is the first Washington wide receiver to make multiple Pro Bowls since Gary Clark. McLaurin joins Clark, Art Monk, and Charley Taylor as some of the franchise’s most accomplished wide receivers.
As of Week 17, Daniels has thrown for 3,530 yards, 25 touchdowns, and nine interceptions, while also leading all quarterbacks in rushing yards with 864 and six rushing touchdowns. He holds the NFL rookie record for quarterback rushing yards and has thrown the most fourth-quarter touchdowns by a rookie in league history.
McLaurin has recorded 74 receptions for 1,034 yards and 12 touchdowns, which ties him for second in the NFL for touchdown receptions and ranks first in the NFC. His 12 touchdowns have also tied the franchise’s single-season record for receiving touchdowns.
In addition to Daniels and McLaurin, several Washington players were named Pro Bowl alternates:
- LB Bobby Wagner – First Alternate

- ST Nick Bellore – First Alternate
- C Tyler Biadasz – Second Alternate
