Dawgs By Nature
The 2025 NFL season is winding down, and for the Cleveland Browns, it has been an incredibly disappointing season, and not how it was drawn up in training camp. We now have an idea which teams Cleveland will play next year, but not how the roster will look.
This season, with back-to-back double-digit loss years, the Pro Bowl would seem like a miracle for any players to make the prestigious AFC list, but the Browns still have two Pro Bowl players.
DE Myles Garrett and CB Denzel Ward were both voted to represent Cleveland in this year’s Pro Bowl.

S Grant Delpit (special teamer), and three rookies: TE Harold Fannin Jr., RB Quinshon Judkins, and LB Carson Schwesinger, were selected as alternates. Schwesinger is the leading candidate for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
For Garrett, he is still chasing the record for the most sacks in a single season with 22.5. He currently has 22 sacks this year. This is his seventh Pro Bowl selection, which is the most by a defensive player in Browns history and ties him for the fourth-most Pro Bowl appearances overall in franchise history.
For Ward, this marks his fifth Pro Bowl, which is now more than Frank Minnifield, who had four for the most awards at the franchise’s cornerback position. The Browns have gone 43 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the league. Basically, opposing QBs just quit throwing in his area.
Several Browns were snubbed as starters. LG Joel Bitonio is having a fine season and should have added his eighth Pro Bowl, but wasn’t selected. Nobody understands how Schwesinger was not added to the starting list. He currently has 148 total tackles, ranked #4 in the league. The AFC starters are Roquan Smith (124 tackles), Azeez Al-Shaair (96), Nik Bonitto (43), Tuli Tuipulotu (47), and T.J. Watt (53).
The format for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games will be slightly different from past years. Rather than a series of events culminating in a flag football game, the flag football contest will be the sole showcase.
The event is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. (Eastern) on February 3, five days before Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
