Slew of Seahawks ranked highly after first round of Pro Bowl voting

The Seattle Seahawks have a slew of players who were in the top 10 at their respective positions in fan voting after the first round of balloting for the 2026 Pro Bowl. Results from the first stage of voting were released by the league Monday morning.

To no surprise, NFL leading receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the leader in votes among receivers leaguewide. He was also second overall among all players with 27,162 votes. Only New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (31,452 votes) received more.

Smith-Njigba was the only Seahawk who led the voting at his position. Second-year pro Byron Murphy II was the next-highest-ranked Seattle player, coming in at No. 2 among defensive tackles. Murphy did, however, lead NFC defensive tackles in votes. Rookie guard Grey Zabel and kicker Jason Myers were each third at their positions leaguewide.

The 2026 Pro Bowl Games take place on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at Moscone Center in San Francisco. Fan voting runs through Dec. 15. Participants will be chosen by a combination of fan, player and coach voting.

In total, 15 Seahawks were among the top-10 vote-getters at their respective positions in the results released Monday. Here’s a look at who made the cut.
