The NFL released Pro Bowl rosters for the 2024 season and six Sooners will be featured in the annual All-Star event.
Joe Mixon, CeeDee Lamb, Marvin Mims, Lane Johnson, Creed Humphrey, and Nic Bonitto were named to the Pro Bowl rosters as released by the NFL on Thursday morning.
Joe Mixon has run for 995 yards and 11 touchdowns in 13 games for the Houston Texans. He has seven 100-yard games this season and has been a focal point for the Texans offense. It’s Mixon’s second Pro Bowl selection and first since 2021.
CeeDee Lamb had another big year for the Dallas Cowboys. In 15 games this season, Lamb recorded 101 receptions for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns while working with backup quarterback Cooper Rush. Lamb will miss the rest of the season after suffering a shoulder injury. It’s the fourth straight Pro Bowl selection for Lamb, who has become one of the best wide receivers in the NFL in his five year career.
Lane Johnson and Creed Humphrey are two of the best offensive linemen in the NFL.
Johnson has been an anchor for the Philadelphia Eagles for more than a decade and is arguably the best right tackle in the league. The Eagles are 13-3 and clinched the NFC East division title despite the loss of Jalen Hurts to injury earlier in the year. Johnson has earned six Pro Bowl selections in his career, each of them coming in the last eight seasons.
Humphrey has been a cornerstone piece for the Kansas City Chiefs since entering the league. The Chiefs lead the NFL with a 15-1 record and have a great shot to three-peat as Super Bowl champions. It’s Humprhey’s third consecutive Pro Bowl selection.
Nik Bonitto is having a breakout season in 2024. He’s tied for fourth in the NFL with 11.5 sacks and has recorded 22 quarterback hits, 45 total tackles, and 14 tackles for loss. He also has an interception and fumble return for touchdowns this season.
Marvin Mims has become one of the most dynamic returnmen in the NFL for the Denver Broncos. He leads the NFL with 408 punt return yards and in yards per punt return at 15.7. He’s also having a big year as a receiver. He’s recorded 34 catches on 47 targets for 452 yards and four touchdowns. Mims has been selected to the Pro Bowl as a returner in each of his two season in the NFL.
One name was notably absent from the list, quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is having a great season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At quarterback, the NFC will be represented instead by rookie of the year candidate Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders, Sam Darnold of the Minnesota Vikings, and Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions.
Mayfield is having a career year for the Bucs, setting new personal bests in passing yards and touchdowns. Mayfield is third in the NFL in passing yards and second in the league in touchdowns.
Even with Mayfield’s snub, it’s a good showing for Oklahoma Football, with six Pro Bowl selections.
