2025 Pro Bowl Games: Two Jaguars earn nods, three named alternates

Two Jaguars, punter Logan Cooke and long snapper Ross Matiscik, were named to the AFC roster of the 2025 Pro Bowl Games on Thursday, the NFL announced.

Additionally, three Jacksonville players were named alternates for the Pro Bowl Games: Rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (first alternate), and defensive ends Josh Hines-Allen (fourth) and Travon Walker (fifth).

A seventh-year Jaguar, Cooke was voted to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career. Matiscik will return to the games for a second consecutive season.

Cooke has averaged career-highs of 49.4 gross yards and 44.7 net yards per punt over 64 attempts this season, including a 73-yard longest kick. His 32 punts pinned inside the 20-yard line rank No. 3 in the NFL this season; his 12 punts pinned inside the 10-yard line rank No. 4.

Matiscik has snapped for each of Cooke’s punts and Jaguars rookie kicker Cam Little’s field goal and extra point attempts this season, and has recorded two special teams tackles.

Thomas, Jacksonville’s No. 23 overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, has shattered the Jaguars’ rookie receiving records this season with 80 receptions for 1,179 yards and 10 touchdowns, and counting. He has been nominated for the NFL’s Rookie of the Week Award seven times but has yet to take home the honor.

The faces of Jacksonville’s pass rush, Hines-Allen and Walker have combined for 17.5 sacks this season, the former having logged eight and the latter 9.5. Hines-Allen also has 10 tackles for loss; Walker has 12.

The 2025 Pro Bowl games will take place in Orlando, Fla., between Thursday, January 30, and Sunday, February 2.
