Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is making the Pro Bowl games after all. Mayfield was largely considered a snub when the NFC's three quarterbacks for the Pro Bowl Games were revealed before the regular season ended.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was named to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games on Tuesday, marking his second appearance in two years.
The performance has Mayfield breaking a Buccaneers franchise record that even Tom Brady didn't acquire during his time in pewter and red. In just two years with the team, Mayfield has already earned two Pro Bowl invitations, making him the first quarterback in franchise history to accomplish the feat.
Baker Mayfield helped lead Tampa Bay to the NFC playoffs, and it was announced that he's been named to the Pro Bowl to replace Jayden Daniels
The Sooners former star quarterback had the best year of his career but wasn't voted onto the NFC team, but was chosen as an alternate when Jayden Daniels opted out.
Mayfield, previously named a first alternate, joins Jared Goff (Detroit Lions) and Sam Darnold (Minnesota Vikings) as the NFC quarterbacks. Mike Evans from the Bucs was recently added to the roster after CeeDee Lamb's injury, while teammates Vita Vea and Tristan Wirfs already selected.
Jayden Daniels and the Commanders got the better of Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers in the playoffs and Daniels got the better of Mayfield in the initial Pro Bowl voting, but Mayfield will be in Orlando for this week's skills competitions and other festivities.

Mayfield led the Buccaneers to a 10-7 record and took them to the playoffs, where they lost in the wild-card round. He will join fellow NFC quarterbacks Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions and Sam Darnold of the Minnesota Vikings at the Pro Bowl Games on Sunday.

Kliff Kingsbury, another frontrunner, has reportedly pulled his name from the hat, according to a report by NFL Insider Jordan Schultz.
