For the second straight season the Dallas Cowboys are sending five players to the NFL Pro Bowl Games.
Quarterback Dak Prescott, receiver George Pickens, offensive lineman Tyler Smith, defensive lineman Quinnen Williams and kicker Brandon Aubrey were all selected to the Pro Bowl on Tuesday.
The Cowboys tied for the second-most selections in the Pro Bowl, behind only the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, who each had six selections.
“We’ve got some very deserving guys on there,” Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said during his Tuesday appearance on 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM).

This is Prescott’s fourth Pro Bowl selection in his career. In 15 games this season, he’s thrown for 4,175 yards and 28 touchdowns. It’s the fourth time Prescott has thrown for over 4,000 yards in a single season.
Pickens, who was selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career, was Prescott’s top target in his first season in Dallas. He recorded career highs in yards (1,342) and touchdowns (nine).
Williams, the Cowboys’ big acquisition prior to the NFL trade deadline, was selected to his fourth straight Pro Bowl. He was the Cowboys’ only defensive player to make the roster.
Smith, the Cowboys’ first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, was selected to his third straight Pro Bowl.
