The future Hall of Famer adds another Pro Bowl to his resume.
Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner was named to this year's group of players selected for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games. He joins wide receiver Terry McLaurin and quarterback Jayden Daniels as the Commanders' representative in Orlando, Florida.
With the announcement, Wagner has now made 10 Pro Bowls in his 13-year career. He was also named to the All-Pro team for the 11th consecutive season.
Wagner was one of the many players general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn signed in the offseason. The veteran quickly stood out because of his leadership, mentorship for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and production. Wagner led the team with 132 stops, marking the 13th consecutive season that he surpassed the 100-tackle mark.
He is tied with former Washington linebacker London Fletcher for the most consecutive 100-tackle seasons in NFL history.
According to Pro Football Focus, Wagner was the most efficient pass-rusher for his position in the regular season. He received a 91 overall grade from the analytics website with 26 pressures. He had a missed tackle rate of just 5.1% -- the fifth-lowest of his career.
"Bobby, I've said it many times, he's a coach on the field," said defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. "He's the ultimate leader; for him to be the Bobby Wagner, he's a humble man. He listens, he takes coaching, he has one of the best linebacker coaches in the world in [Linebackers Coach] Ken Norton [Jr.]. So, they have like a father-son type of relationship, but he takes the younger guys, he brings them, he's a mentor. I can tell him and talk to him within the game and he could take what I'm saying and communicate it really well to the players. So, he's like a coach on the field."
