PITTSBURGH — Another Pittsburgh Steeler has been named to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.

Linebacker Patrick Queen will replace Roquan Smith of the Baltimore Ravens during this weekend’s Pro Bowl Games, marking, the Steelers announced Wednesday.

In 2024, Queen registered a team-high 129 tackles (65 solo), seven passes defensed, six tackles for loss, five QB hits, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He was the only defender in the NFL this season to record 125 or more tackles, six or more tackles for loss and seven or more passes defensed.

Queen’ 129 tackles are the fifth-most in a season by a Steeler since 1994.

Six other Steelers are participating in the Pro Bowl Games this year: kicker Chris Boswell, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, special teamer Miles Killebrew, quarterback Russell Wilson and guard Isaac Seumalo. Linebacker T.J. Watt was also elected to this year’s Pro Bowl Games, but he will not be participating.
