LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The National Football League announced this morning that quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin were named to the 2025 Pro Bowl. Both players were primary selections.

Washington is sending two offensive players to the Pro Bowl for the first time since 2017 when T Trent Williams and G Brandon Scherff were selected. It is the first time that Washington is sending a quarterback and wide receiver to the Pro Bowl in the same season since 1991 when Mark Rypien and Gary Clark were both selected.

Washington has two Pro Bowlers named after not having any in last year's Pro Bowl. Prior to the 2024 Pro Bowl (2023 season), Washington produced at least two Pro Bowlers in seven consecutive seasons (2016-22).

Daniels was selected as a primary quarterback for the NFC. This is Daniels' first Pro Bowl selection. Daniels becomes the first Washington rookie to be named to the Pro Bowl since Chase Young in 2020. Daniels becomes the first Washington offensive rookie and first Washington rookie quarterback to be named to the Pro Bowl since Robert Griffin III in 2012. Daniels joins Griffin III, Kirk Cousins (2016), Brad Johnson (1999), Gus Frerotte (1996), Mark Rypien (1989 and 1991), Jay Schroeder (1986), Joe Theismann (1982 and 1983), Billy Kilmer (1972), Sonny Jurgensen (1964, 1966, 1967 and 1969), Norm Snead (1962-63), Eddie LeBaron (1955-57), Al Dorow (1956), Sammy Baugh (1951) and Harry Gilmer (1952 and 1950) as the 15th quarterback in franchise history to be named to the Pro Bowl.

McLaurin was selected as a primary wide receiver for the NFC. This is McLaurin's second Pro Bowl selection. Prior to McLaurin being named a Pro Bowler in 2022, Washington did not have a Pro Bowl receiver since Santana Moss in 2005. McLaurin becomes the first Washington receiver to be named to multiple Pro Bowls since Gary Clark. McLaurin joins Clark (1990-91 and 1986-87), Art Monk (1984-86), Charley Brown (1982-83) and Charley Taylor (1972-75 and 1966-67) as the only receivers in franchise history to be named to multiple Pro Bowls.

Through Week 17, Daniels is 325-of-468 for 3,530 yards, 25 passing touchdowns and nine interceptions. He has also added 864 yards rushing on 144 carries and has scored six rushing touchdowns. Daniels currently leads all quarterbacks in rushing this season. Daniels also ranks No. 8 in the NFL in passer rating and completions and No. 6 in completion percentage. This season, Daniels broke the NFL rookie rushing record for a quarterback and has thrown more touchdowns in the fourth quarter of games than any rookie in NFL history.

Through Week 17, McLaurin has registered 74 receptions for 1,034 yards and 12 touchdowns. McLaurin's 12 touchdowns are tied for second in the NFL and first in the NFC. McLaurin is one-of-five players in the NFL this season with 70-plus receptions and 10-plus touchdown receptions and joins Amon-Ra St. Brown and Justin Jefferson as the only NFC wide receivers to accomplish the feat this season. McLaurin's 12 touchdown receptions this season have tied a single season franchise record.
