2021 Pro Bowl teams announced: Complete rosters

The 2021 Pro Bowl rosters have been announced and now, we must celebrate.

Though the 2021 Pro Bowl will not be played this year due to the ongoing global pandemic, the AFC and NFC rosters were unveiled on Monday night shortly before kickoff of the Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals game.

Because there will not be a game played this year, there are no alternates for these rosters. This means anybody who did not earn a Pro Bowl designation at this time will not be getting one. In most years, players on teams that make it far into the NFL playoffs are replaced by alternates. The same principal applies to guys who are hurt or opt out from playing for whatever reason.
