Lamar Jackson leads Pro Bowl voting

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is the early leader in fan votes for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, earning 44,681 votes in the first week of balloting. This puts him ahead of teammate Derrick Henry, who received 40,729 votes, and Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley with 40,602 votes.

The Pro Bowl voting closes on Monday, December 23, and fans can cast their votes through various platforms to decide which players will represent their teams in Orlando.

Top players in the Pro-Bowl vote so far

Lamar Jackson’s commanding lead is a testament to his MVP-caliber performance this season. He is followed by some of the league’s top talents:

  • Derrick Henry (Baltimore Ravens): 40,729 votes
  • Saquon Barkley (Philadelphia Eagles): 40,602 votes
  • Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills): 36,574 votes
  • Jahmyr Gibbs (Detroit Lions): 35,637 votes

While Jackson dominates the quarterback category, notable omissions include Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, typically fan favorites. Even Jared Goff, a driving force in the Detroit Lions’ resurgence, is missing from the top ranks despite his team leading all clubs in total votes received.

I write about sports because, well, it brings in the big bucks! I’m not some lifelong analyst or stats guru, truth being told, you’ve probably never heard of me!—I just know how to research, write, and make things sound good. That’s the job!
Got into sports media the same way most people do: by (fortunate) accident. Started with SEO writing, took on a few sports gigs, and now here we are! I cover games, trades, player drama—whatever needs words.
Favorite part? The chaos. One day it’s a blockbuster trade, the next it’s a goat running onto the field. Never boring.
Message to readers: If you want deep analysis, there are people for that. If you want sharp, no-BS writing that actually makes sense, stick around.
