Four Houston Texans named to 2025 Pro Bowl

The 2025 Pro Bowl Games will take place over two days in Orlando, Fla.

HOUSTON — Four Houston Texans players have been named to the 2025 Pro Bowl, including cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. and tackle Laremy Tunsil. Those two were named as starters.

They will be joined by wide receiver Nico Collins and running back Joe Mixon.

Stingley, the Texans’ third-year cornerback and 2022 first-round pick, is making his first Pro Bowl appearance. This season, he started all 16 games, posting career highs in tackles (54), tackles for loss (four), and passes defensed (18).

Stingley also tied his career-best with five interceptions, which ranks sixth in the NFL.

Stingley’s three interceptions in December led the AFC, and his two-interception performance in Week 15 earned him AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.

Tunsil, now a five-time Pro Bowler (2019-20, 2022-24), returns as a starter for the second consecutive year. The veteran tackle started all 16 games, allowing no sacks since Week 1. His pass-blocking grade of 89.0 ranks fourth in the NFL and second in the AFC.

Collins, in his fourth year with Houston, will make his Pro Bowl debut.

Despite missing five games due to injury, Collins recorded 63 receptions for 968 yards and six touchdowns in 11 starts. His 88.0 receiving yards per game rank fourth in the NFL and second in the AFC. He is 32 yards shy of reaching 1,000 receiving yards for the second straight season.

Mixon earned his second Pro Bowl nod after amassing 993 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 240 carries. He added 35 receptions for 304 yards and one touchdown in 13 starts. Mixon became the first player since 1970 to record 100 rushing yards and a touchdown in six consecutive road games.

Six other Texans were named alternates: Defensive end Danielle Hunter (first alternate), punter Tommy Townsend (first), defensive end Will Anderson Jr. (second), quarterback C.J. Stroud (second), kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn (fourth), and safety Jimmie Ward (fourth).

The 2025 Pro Bowl Games will take place over two days in Orlando, Fla. The event will feature an International NFL Flag Championship Tournament and skills challenges broadcast live on ESPN on Jan. 30 at 6 p.m. CT. The competition will conclude with a flag football game on Feb. 2.
