Robert Hunt, the Carolina Panthers' standout right guard, has been named to the 2025 Pro Bowl, filling in for Philadelphia Eagles guard Landon Dickerson, who is preparing for the Super Bowl. This marks Hunt's first Pro Bowl selection after establishing himself as a top performer since entering the NFL as a second-round draft pick in 2020.
In four seasons with the Miami Dolphins before joining the Panthers, Hunt played 61 games and made 55 starts. His five-year, $100 million contract with Carolina ranks him as one of the highest-paid guards in the league. While some might question the investment in a guard, Hunt's impact has been significant, particularly in run-blocking and pass protection, enhancing the Panthers' offensive capabilities and aiding quarterback Bryce Young's development.
Hunt's performance has been pivotal in creating opportunities for running back Chuba Hubbard, who recorded nearly 1,200 rushing yards this season. With additional support in the receiving corps, the Panthers are poised to improve their offensive ranking next year.
