Yesterday, the Steelers announced QB Russell Wilson and OG Isaac Seumalo are heading to the Pro Bowl as alternates. They join special teamer Miles Killebrew as alternates, bringing the Steelers’ total for the 2024 Pro Bowl up to seven. And with seven Pro Bowlers, they now have the third-most in the NFL, behind just the Ravens and Lions.
It all goes to illustrate just how little the Pro Bowl has come to mean. While this is the 10th Pro Bowl for Russell Wilson, he hardly earned the accolade this year. But with Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen pulling out, the Steelers quarterback benefited.
