Mahomes garners most Pro Bowl votes

Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes received 342,353 total fan votes to lead all players in balloting for the 2021 Pro Bowl presented by Verizon. Fan voting ended on Thursday, December 17.

Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson (335,156 votes) ranked second overall, while Tennessee running back Derrick Henry (315,359), Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce (309,710 votes) and Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers (309,131 votes) rounded out the top five.

Kicker Rodrigo Blankenship received 158, 131 votes???

The Texans Zach Cunningham received 79,334.

The New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, and Carolina Panthers failed to have a Pro Bowl selection.

The Steelers led all clubs in total votes received. The Seahawks, Packers, Chiefs and Bills rounded out the top-five teams to receive the most fan votes.

The Vikings’ Justin Jefferson is the first rookie wide receiver to be selected to the Pro Bowl since Amari Cooper in 2015, and the 5th rookie WR to accomplish that feat in the last 20 seasons.

Roster selections are determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Each group’s vote counts one-third toward determining the 88 All-Star players. The NFL is the only sports league that combines voting by fans, coaches and players to determine its All-Star teams. It was also the first professional sports league to offer online All-Star voting in 1995.

The Pro Bowl will be virtual this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the NFL and EA Sports partnered to create a virtual Pro Bowl experience in Madden 21.
