The Miami Dolphins are one of four NFL teams without a player selected for the initial 2025 Pro Bowl roster, alongside the New York Jets, Tennessee Titans, and New Orleans Saints. This is a stark contrast to the previous season when the Dolphins had six Pro Bowl selections, including standout players like quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
Defensive tackle Zach Sieler, who has recorded a team-high 8.5 sacks, was considered a strong candidate for this year's roster. Tight end Jonnu Smith also had a remarkable season, setting franchise records for a tight end with 79 receptions, 828 yards, and seven touchdowns. Kicker Jason Sanders is having a stellar year as well, with a record of 35 out of 39 field goals and a franchise-record streak of 24 consecutive successful attempts.
Despite the initial snubs, the Dolphins still have a chance to send players to the Pro Bowl as alternates, especially since players selected often decline participation due to injuries or playoff commitments. With the Dolphins still in contention for a playoff spot, their performance in the upcoming game against the Jets is crucial. Meanwhile, this marks the first time quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs has not been selected for the AFC roster since he became the team's starting quarterback.
