QB Shedeur Sanders has officially been named to the 2026 Pro Bowl Games.
Sanders joins DE Myles Garrett and CB Denzel Ward as representatives for the Browns. This marks the first Pro Bowl selection for Sanders following his rookie season. He was also the only Browns rookie to earn a Pro Bowl selection.
“Thank you God. I’m beyond excited and extremely grateful for all the love and support from the coaches, players, and fans,” Sanders said in a statement. “This wouldn’t be possible without the support behind me. Still plenty of work to do.”
Sanders is also the first Browns QB to be named to the Pro Bowl since Derek Anderson in 2007. Sanders joins Otto Graham (1950-54), Milt Plum (1960-61), Frank Ryan (1964-66), Bill Nelsen (1969), Brian Sipe (1980), Bernie Kosar (1987) and Anderson as the only Browns QB to make the Pro Bowl. Sanders is the seventh Browns rookie to be named to the Pro Bowl and first since Denzel Ward in 2018.
Sanders started the final seven games for the Browns, earning his first start in Week 12 against the Raiders. He became the first Browns rookie quarterback to win his debut start since Eric Zeier in 1995. Sanders completed 23 of 42 passes for 364 yards with three touchdowns and one rushing score in Week 14 against the Titans, the most passing yards by a rookie in a game in 2025. Sanders finished his rookie season completing 120 of 212 passing attempts for 1,400 yards and seven touchdowns. He threw 10 interceptions and was sacked 23 times.
