When the 2025 season ended, most people didn’t expect Shedeur Sanders to make the Pro Bowl, but that’s exactly what happened as the Cleveland Browns<\/a> quarterback earned the nod to replace Drake Maye.<\/p>\n

Sanders only played in eight games in 2025, and he had his fair share of struggles along with a few highlight moments. While the season gives Sanders something to build upon for the future, it will likely go down as one of the more underwhelming Pro Bowl nods in recent memory.<\/p>\n

The NFL has seen a handful of questionable Pro Bowl appearances, especially as players became more likely to drop out of the event. For quarterbacks specifically, there have been some outlier Pro Bowlers who stand out below the rest.<\/p>\n

Here’s a breakdown of the six worst Pro Bowl quarterbacks in NFL history.<\/p>\n

6. Pat Haden, Rams, 1977\"Pat<\/p>\n

Malcolm Emmons <\/p>\n

Games: 12Record: 10Completions percentage: 8-2Passing yards: 1,551Passing touchdowns: 11Interceptions: 6Passer rating: 84.5Rushing yards: 106Rushing touchdowns: 2<\/p>\n

In his 1977 sophomore season, Haden took over for an aging Joe Namath and led the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> to eight wins in their final 10 games and a playoff appearance. While his efforts were rewards with a Pro Bowl appearance, his numbers aren’t exactly eye-popping, but this was one of only two times that Haden had more touchdowns than interceptions in his career.<\/p>\n

5. Vince Young, Titans 2009\"Vince<\/p>\n

Jody Gomez <\/p>\n

Games: 12Record: 10Completions percentage: 8-2Passing yards: 1,879Passing touchdowns: 10Interceptions: 7Passer rating: 82.8Rushing yards: 281Rushing touchdowns: 2<\/p>\n

Vince Young made two Pro Bowls in his career, one as a rookie in 2006 and another in 2009 with the Tennessee Titans<\/a>. While neither season was particularly impressive, Young was a much more explosive runner in his rookie season which offset his developing passing game. In 2009, though, Young went 8-2 but totaled just 12 touchdowns and failed to reach 2,000 passing yards.<\/p>\n

4. Kerry Collins, Panthers, 1996\"Kerry<\/p>\n

Peter Brouillet <\/p>\n

Games: 13Record: 9-3Completions percentage: 56%Passing yards: 2,454Passing touchdowns: 14Interceptions: 9Passer rating: 79.4<\/p>\n

Collins had two unimpressive Pro Bowl seasons, one as a young quarterback with the Carolina Panthers<\/a> and one as the veteran with the Titans in 2008. In those two seasons combined, Collins threw 26 total touchdowns, but led his teams to the playoffs each season. The 1996 season has a slight edge for the worse Pro Bowl nod, even though the Panthers made the NFC championship game that year.<\/p>\n

3. Shedeur Sanders, Browns, 2025\"ShedeurGames: 8Record: 3-4Completions percentage: 56.6%Passing yards: 1,400Passing touchdowns: 7Interceptions: 10Passer rating: 68.1Rushing yards: 169Touchdowns: 1<\/p>\n

Sanders’ rookie season included many growing pains, but he did lead the Browns to three wins in their final seven games. Sanders had a few standout contests, mainly against the Tennessee Titans, but for the most part struggled to adapt to the NFL in his first season. However, that didn’t stop him from making the 2025 Pro Bowl as a replacement.<\/p>\n

2. Tyler Huntley, Ravens, 2022\"Tyler<\/p>\n

Mitch Stringer <\/p>\n

Huntley made the 2022 Pro Bowl as a replacement for his work filling in for an injured Lamar Jackson. Huntley’s numbers weren’t that impressive, but he did lead the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> to the playoffs as a Wild Card team, which was enough for him to get the nod, even though he scored three touchdowns in total on the season.<\/p>\n

1. Mike Boryla, Eagles, 1975\"Mike<\/p>\n

Manny Rubio <\/p>\n

Record: 2-3Completions percentage: 52.4%Passing yards: 966Passing touchdowns: 6Interceptions: 12Passer rating: 52.7<\/p>\n

It’s hard to imagine a worse Pro Bowl selection than Mike Boryla, who was selected to the game despite only playing in seven games and producing 12 interceptions. While the 1970s were certainly a different time, Boryla ranked 30th in the league in passing yards and played for an Eagles<\/a> team that finished the season 4-10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When the 2025 season ended, most people didn’t expect Shedeur Sanders to make the Pro Bowl, but that’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":439461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-439460","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=439460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/439461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=439460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=439460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
