Browns somehow had 2 Pro Bowl QBs on roster to begin 2025 season with Joe Flacco news

The Cleveland Browns' 2025 season didn't exactly go to plan. It was a rough year for the offense, and while the defense and a lot of the rookie class showed up, it was a rough season ending in another top-10 draft pick.

Myles Garrett broke the single-season NFL sack record, and rookies like Harold Fannin Jr. and Carson Schwesinger looked incredible. But the most surprising fact from 2025 is that two of the three quarterbacks on the Browns roster to begin the year are Pro Bowlers.

As the Cincinnati Bengals shared on Twitter/x, the NFL added 41-year-old veteran QB Joe Flacco to the Pro Bowl. He joins Shedeur Sanders in the Pro Bowl, as Cleveland now can lay claim to two of the AFC's Pro Bowl QB spots.

With both Flacco and Sanders making the Pro Bowl for the AFC, only Dillon Gabriel didn't make the Pro Bowl among the Browns' starting quarterbacks this season.

Deshaun Watson never played, nor was he active for any period of time. Meaning that 2/3rds of the Browns QB room in 2025 went on to the Pro Bowl, despite neither starting eight games for the Browns.

Sanders played in eight games, but started seven. He put up 1,400 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and had 10 interceptions on a 56.6% completion percentage.

Flacco played in 13 games, starting 10 (4 with Cleveland). He put up 2,479 passing yards (815 with the Browns), 15 touchdowns (2 with the Browns), and 10 interceptions (6 with the Browns) to go with a 60.3% completion percentage (58.1% with Cleveland).

Neither Flacco nor Sanders is conventionally deserving of a Pro Bowl nod, but thanks to quarterbacks backing out due to injury or some other reason, the NFL scrambled to find options, and Sanders and Flacco both accepted.

Tyler Huntley was another major Pro Bowl surprise in recent years, and now, both Flacco and Sanders might take the cake for the more unlikely Pro Bowlers in NFL history.

What makes this situation so strange is that the Browns had two quarterbacks on the roster at the start of the year who went on to make the Pro Bowl.

Sending one QB to the Pro Bowl is already a big accomplishment. And somehow, technically, the Browns will have two quarterbacks in the Pro Bowl this season, with Flacco and Sanders both making the Pro Bowl.
