The NFL named three Green Bay Packers to the Pro Bowl roster, and another 7 were chosen as alternates.

Safety Xavier McKinney was named as a starter. Defensive lineman Rashan Gary and running back Josh Jacobs will join him in the lineup.

McKinney is a starter in his first Pro Bowl selection, and he’s the first Packers safety to make the roster since Ha Ha Clinton-Dix in 2016.

According to the Packers, McKinney’s 7 games with an interception this season are the most since Charles Woodson in 2009, and his 7 interceptions are the most by a Packers player since Woodson in 2011. McKinney ranks #2 in the NFL this season in both interceptions and takeaways (8).

This is also Gary’s first Pro Bowl selection. He’s #8 on the Packers’ all-time sack list with 38. He leads the Pack this year with 6.5 sacks and 14 quarterback hits.

Jacobs was named to the Pro Bowl in 2020 and 2022, but this is his first wearing a Packers helmet. He ranks #5 in the NFL with 1,258 rushing yards this season — the most of any Packers player in their first year with the franchise and just the fifth Packers player in history to pass the 1,200-yard mark. His 15 touchdowns this season is the most for any Packers player in their first season, and he’s tied for #2 this season in rushing touchdowns (14).

Alternates:

Guard Elgton Jenkins was named first alternate. Other alternates are (alphabetically):

  • Jaire Alexander, cornerback
  • Kenny Clark, defensive lineman
  • Tucker Kraft, tight end
  • Jordan Love, quarterback
  • Josh Myers, center
  • Kelsean Nixon, cornerback, as kick return specialist

The NFL’s All-Star Game is Sunday, February 2.
