Johnathan Walker:Pro Bowl 2024 rosters announced: 49ers lead way with nine NFL all-star players

The Johnathan WalkerSan Francisco 49ers had a league-best nine players, including eight starters, selected for the 2024 Pro Bowl Games.

The league announced rosters for the NFC and AFC on Wednesday. Players from both conferences will compete in skills competitions starting on Thursday, Feb. 1 and culminating with a flag football game on Sunday, Feb. 4, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The NFL eliminated its full-contact all-star game in 2022.

The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys (seven apiece); Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles (six apiece); and Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions (five apiece) were among the teams with five or more Pro Bowl selections.

For the 49ers, quarterback Brock Purdy, running back Christian McCaffrey, fullback Kyle Juszczyk, tight end George Kittle, offensive tackle Trent Williams, defensive end Nick Bosa, defensive lineman Javon Hargrave, linebacker Fred Warner and cornerback Charvarius Ward were named to the NFC roster. This is the 11th Pro Bowl selection for Williams, the most among active players. This is Juszczyk's eighth Pro Bowl nod, the most ever for a fullback.

Purdy and the Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa are designated as the starting quarterbacks for their respective conferences, marking the first time since the 2000 Pro Bowl (Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner) that two first-time Pro Bowl quarterbacks were named starters.

Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams became the first defensive lineman since 1970 to make the Pro Bowl in each of his first 10 seasons. The Dolphins' Tyreek Hill is the first wide receiver selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first eight seasons.

This is the sixth time that both Jason and Travis Kelce have been selected to the Pro Bowl in the same season. Travis Kelce was chosen for his ninth Pro Bowl, trailing Tony Gonzalez (14) and Jason Witten (11) for most selections among tight ends.

There are 28 first-time Pro Bowl selections, including rookies Sam LaPorta (Lions), Marvin Mims (Denver Broncos), Puka Nacua (Rams) and Devon Witherspoon (Seattle Seahawks).

The roster selections were determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Each group’s vote counted one-third toward determining the teams.

For the second consecutive year, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning will serve as coaches for the Pro Bowl Games. Peyton will coach the AFC team, with Eli serving as the NFC coach. Ray Lewis will be the defensive coordinator for the AFC, while DeMarcus Ware will handle that role for the NFC.

The NFC won last year's Pro Bowl Games.
