Flurry of Seahawks make top 10 in first round of Pro Bowl voting results

The NFL Pro Bowl voting is open, and the first voting results have been released. Typically, Seattle Seahawks fans are accustomed to seeing Seahawks players disrespected with these voting results (just look at Leonard Williams not being a Pro Bowler in 2024). However, this year with a 9-3 record, that is not the case.

As should be the case, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in first place in the NFL for votes at wide receiver (and second in overall votes among all positions). Other top five placements include Byron Murphy II in 2nd place in votes for defensive tackles (1st in the NFC) and Grey Zabel in 3rd place in votes among guards (2nd in the NFC).

Rounding out the offense is Sam Darnold who is 10th in votes in the NFL (6th in the NFC) for quarterbacks. At Center, Olu Oluwatimi is 10th (6th in the NFC). Lastly, Robbie Ouzts is 10th in the NFL (4th in the NFC) for the fullback position. Some curious omissions on offense are offensive tackle Charles Cross and tight end AJ Barner.

On defense, for the defensive end position, Leonard Williams is 9th (5th in the NFC), while DeMarcus Lawrence is 10th (6th in the NFC). At outside linebacker, Uchenna Nwosu is 10th (5th in the NFC). Lastly, free safety Coby Bryant is 6th in the league (5th in the NFC). The Seahawks defense has been playing spectacular this year, so there are many names who could be omissions on this initial batch of results. However, the omission of linebacker Ernest Jones stands out as the worst.

Lastly, on special teams. Kicker Jason Myers is in 3rd in the NFL (2nd in the NFC). Punter Michael Dickson is in 10th (6th in the NFC). Long snapper Chris Stoll is 4th (4th in the NFC). And special teamer, Brady Russell is 4th (3rd in the NFC).

Overall, this is only the first batch of results. There is plenty of time for Seahawks fans to cast their ballots and secure as many Seahawks in the Pro Bowl as possible. Although, the players and fans alike would rather see these Seahawks playing in a different bowl game come February.
