Tee Higgins named to AFC Pro Bowl team

Bengals WR Tee Higgins has been added to the AFC roster for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games. This marks the first career Pro Bowl selection for Higgins.

A sixth-year player in 2025 out of Clemson University, Higgins caught 59 passes for 846 yards and a career-high 11 TDs in 15 games played (14 starts). His 11 receiving TDs led all AFC players and tied for second in the NFL. He compiled a career-long streak of four consecutive games with at least one TD catch from Week 7 through Week 11.

Higgins becomes the 10th WR in Bengals history to be named a Pro Bowler. He joins fellow WR Ja’Marr Chase as Cincinnati’s Pro Bowl selections for the 2025 season. The last time the Bengals had two WRs named to the Pro Bowl in the same season was 2007, when T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson were selected.

Higgins, who originally was listed as a second alternate on December’s Pro Bowl roster, replaces Baltimore WR Zay Flowers.

The 2026 Pro Bowl Games take place on Tuesday, Feb. 3 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif., and will be televised live on ESPN.
