Overview
- Sanders joins the AFC Pro Bowl Games roster in place of Patriots rookie Drake Maye, with events scheduled for Feb. 3 in San Francisco.
- Original AFC selections Josh Allen and Justin Herbert were on the roster but injured, and other potential alternates including Patrick Mahomes, Bo Nix and Daniel Jones were also sidelined.
- The Browns rookie started seven games and went 3-4, completing 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions, a résumé that drew broad criticism of the Pro Bowl process.
- He becomes the first Browns quarterback named to the Pro Bowl since 2008 and the first fifth-round rookie to earn a Pro Bowl nod since Puka Nacua.
- General manager Andrew Berry has declined to commit to Sanders as Cleveland’s 2026 starter, saying the team will evaluate quarterback options this offseason.
