Two leaders of Pittsburgh’s defense have been selected to the Pro Bowl Games.

Linebacker T.J. Watt and recently converted safety Jalen Ramsey were both voted in for the eighth time in their careers and the first for Ramsey as a safety.

Special teamer Ben Skowronek is among the 19 players across the NFL making their first Pro Bowl. It’s the fifth straight year no offensive player on the Steelers made the Pro Bowl but the 25th straight year the franchise has had multiple Pro Bowlers, according to ESPN.

Six Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks were selected..

The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, along with the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers, are sending five players.

Reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen, Drake Maye and Justin Herbert are the AFC quarterbacks. Sam Darnold, Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford are the QBs for the NFC.

Kansas City’s Travis Kelce was selected for his 11th Pro Bowl, tied with Jason Witten for the second-most among tight ends, behind only Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez (14).

Among the first-timers are Eagles cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, Dolphins running back De’Von Achane and Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens.

The Jets, Saints and Vikings were the only teams without a representative.

Player selections were determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches, with each group’s vote counting as one-third toward the total tally.

This is the fourth year of the Pro Bowl Games. The events will be played in San Francisco ahead of the Super Bowl. Pro Football Hall of Famers Jerry Rice (NFC) and Steve Young (AFC) will coach the teams in the flag football showdown Feb. 3.
