Watt has been honored for seven consecutive seasons (2018-24). The only season he wasn’t selected to the Pro Bowl was his rookie season in 2017.

Heyward previously made it from 2017-2022. Fitzpatrick has been named for the fifth time in the past six seasons. 

Boswell’s first appearance came in 2017. He’s having his best season and has an outside chance to set the league record for field goals in a season on Saturday night. He has 40 field goals in the first 16 games of the season and needs five to break the record that David Akers set in 2011 with 44.

Boswell is 40 for 43 on field-goal attempts this season and 33 for 33 on extra points.
