On Saturday, the Associated Press announced the full 2025 AP All-Pro roster, which included just one first-team Jacksonville Jaguars selection: three-time Pro Bowl long snapper Ross Matiscik. 2025 is Matiscik’s third consecutive placement as an All-Pro and his second time being named to the first team (2023).
Via the team release:
Matiscik, 29, has played 140 special teams snaps this season and made four tackles, tied for third in the league among long snappers. Since entering the league in 2020, his 22 special teams tackles are tied for the most in the NFL at his position. Matiscik has snapped for P Logan Cooke to achieve a 43.0-yard net punting average in 2025, the fourth best mark in the AFC, and for K Cam Little’s franchise-record 140 points scored, fifth most in the NFL this season. In addition to three All Pro nods, Matiscik has been named to the Pro Bowl games in each of the last three seasons.
Additionally, 2025 Pro Bowl alternate, LB Devin Lloyd was also named Second Team All-Pro by the AP, Lloyd’s first career selection. Via the team:
Lloyd, 27, started 15 games during the 2025 regular season and totaled 74 tackles, 10 quarterback hits, seven passes defensed, six tackles for loss, five interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 1.5 sacks and one fumble recovery, as well as seven special teams tackles. His five interceptions and six takeaways tied for the second and third most in the NFL, respectively. Lloyd is just the second player in the last 20 seasons to have at least 10 quarterback hits and five interceptions in a season and the first since LB Lavonte David in 2013…Lloyd also earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors following Week 4 and AFC Defensive Player of the Month honors for September.
Unlike this year’s Pro Bowl voting, the two linebackers selected above Lloyd as starters reasonably have supported résumés to not consider Lloyd’s second team placement a true “snub”. Detroit Lions LB Jack Campbell and Miami Dolphins backer, Jordyn Brooks were both named this year’s All-Pro starters.
However, the voting evaluation is where things truly get interesting here.
