2024 Pro Bowl rosters announced: Patriots shut out for first time since 2000
Niners led all teams with 9 players selected, followed by Cowboys and Ravens with 7 each
The NFL Pro Bowl rosters arrived Wednesday, setting the stage for the recently pared down event scheduled to take place in Orlando before the Super Bowl.
The rosters also reinforced what was quite apparent this season: the New England Patriots are far removed from their Tom Brady glory years. Not a single member of the Patriots was named to the AFC roster, which hadn't happened since 2000, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss.
The Green Bay Packers, Carolina Panthers and Washington Commanders were also shut out, though all of those teams could still have players make the game as replacements.
The NFC-leading San Francisco 49ers led all teams in selections with nine, followed by the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys with seven each. Brock Purdy and Tua Tagovailoa are set to start at quarterback, with MVP favorite Lamar Jackson, Matthew Stafford, Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes serving as reserves.
