The elite level of play from Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receiver Puka Nacua and outside linebackers Jared Verse and Byron Young has earned them Pro Bowl recognition.

All four were selected to the 2026 Pro Bowl Games, it was announced Tuesday morning. According to the NFL, Stafford, Nacua and Verse have been designated as starters.

Stafford has authored an MVP-caliber season with a league-leading 4,179 passing yards and 40 passing touchdowns against only five interceptions entering Week 17. This marks his third career Pro Bowl nod.

Nacua’s 114 receptions lead the NFL, while his 1,592 receiving yards are second-most in the league behind the Seahawks’ Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s 1,637.

Meanwhile, Verse’s 59 quarterback pressers are tied for fifth-most in the NFL entering Week 17. He also has 6.5 sacks, third-most on Los Angeles’ defense. Young’s 11 sacks lead the team and are the most by a Rams player since Aaron Donald had 12.5 in 2021, while his 46 quarterback pressers are tied for 12th-most in the league.

For both Nacua and Verse, it’s their second career Pro Bowl nods; Verse in consecutive seasons. Young is a first-time Pro Bowl selection.

The 2026 Pro Bowl Games will take place in San Francisco, California, home of Super Bowl LX, after the NFL chose to move the Pro Bowl to the Super Bowl host city this year; last season it was hosted in Orlando. The game itself will take place at and be televised live from San Francisco’s Moscone Center South Building on Tuesday, Feb. 3.
