Led by their star quarterbacks, the Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers each had seven players selected to the Pro Bowl. The Baltimore Ravens also had seven players chosen. 

Russell Wilson is heading to his 8th Pro Bowl in nine seasons. Linebacker Bobby Wagner is going to his 7th in nine years.  Safety Jamal Adams makes it three-for-three in his three seasons in the NFL.

Seattle is also sending four first-time Pro Bowlers.  They include receiver DK Metcalf, safety Quandre Diggs, fullback Nick Bellore, and long snapper Tyler Ott. 

For the NFC quarterbacks, Wilson joins Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers and Arizona's Kyler Murray. 

Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes and Rodgers are the starting quarterbacks, though there will be no actual game this season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

On Jan. 31, the players will be celebrated during two Pro Bowl-themed shows airing on an ESPN/ABC simulcast, with a virtual Pro Bowl experience within the Madden NFL 21 video game.
