The NFL released its second batch of voting returns for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, and a familiar name remains at the top.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continued to lead the way with 82,402 votes. Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley moved up one spot to second place with 82,082 votes.
Jackson also was the leading vote-getter after the first ballot returns last week. However, Barkley slightly trailed Jackson's teammate, Derrick Henry, by just over 120 votes before leaping over the fellow running back on Monday.
The reigning two-time NFL MVP, Jackson is in the midst of another MVP-caliber campaign with 3,290 passing yards, 29 touchdowns and three interceptions plus 678 rushing yards and three more scores.
The signal-caller has certainly enjoyed having Henry in the backfield, as the 30-year-old has been dominant in his first year in Baltimore with 1,407 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns.
However, Barkley has strung together a run of epic performances on his way to taking over first place in the NFL with 1,623 yards on the ground. He racked up 255 rushing yards in a Week 12 win over the Los Angeles Rams, the highest single-game output by a running back this year.
A pair of rookies cracked the top 10 in Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels at No. 6 and Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers at No. 10.
The 2025 Pro Bowl Games will be held at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida beginning with the Skills Showdown on Jan. 30 and culminating with the Pro Bowl Games Championship flag football game on Feb. 2.
