As of the latest returns for 2026 Pro Bowl Games voting, only three Carolina Panthers popped up amongst the top 10 at their positions. But surely, with the team at a more-than-respectable 7-6 record and right in the thick of playoff contention, there should be more . . . right?

(Yes, there should be.)

So, with fan voting open for just 10 more days, let’s do a little campaigning for their causes!

Here are six Panthers who deserve your Pro Bowl votes this season:

RB Rico Dowdle

Dowdle was one of the three Panthers to show up on those early returns, ranking as the seventh-leading vote-getter at the running back position. And while he may have slowed down just a bit over the past few weeks, the Gaffney, S.C. native is still deserving of his first all-star nod.

He enters this weekend having amassed the eighth-most rushing yards (929) and eighth-most scrimmage yards (1,183) in the NFL. Dowdle is also averaging a rock-solid 4.8 yards per carry, which ranks ninth amongst running backs with at least 100 atttempts.

WR Tetairoa McMillan

The wideout spot is always a tough one to crack for the Pro Bowl, especially if you’re a rookie. But McMillan has certainly played his way into the crowded conversation.

Not only is this year’s eighth overall pick currently the ninth-leading receiver in the league (826), but his six touchdowns are nothing to sneeze at either. And of his 57 receptions, 46 have gone for first downs—which rank as the seventh-most thus far.

T Taylor Moton

Despite uncharacteristically missing a few games, Moton has remained the rock of a unit that’s fielded 10 different starting configurations in their 13 games.

The ninth-year veteran, to this point, has earned his second-highest overall offensive grade from Pro Football Focus (77.9). That mark is helped by a career-best 79.1 run-blocking grade.

G Damien Lewis

Lewis has also helped establish Carolina’s effective ground-and-pound identity.

Plus, he’s allowed just one sack and has recorded the sixth-highest pass-blocking grade (79.6) amongst all guards.

DT Derrick Brown

With Brown missing 16 of 17 outings in 2024, the Panthers defense allowed a whopping 179.8 rushing yards per game—nearly 40 more yards than the next closest unit. With Brown having played all 13 here in 2025, they’ve improved drastically, relinquishing an average of 118.7 rushing yards (19th).

The return of the 2024 Pro Bowler has headlined a bounce-back campaign for what was one of the worst defenses in NFL history last season. His mere presence and his numbers (4.0 sacks, 24 stops, seven passes defensed, forced fumble) prove his immense value to this team.

CB Jaycee Horn

Horn was listed as the leading vote-getter at the cornerback position. And for good reason, as he’s tied for the second-most interceptions (five) in the NFL.

His PFF grades aren’t as flattering as they usually are, as he’s currently at a career-low 60.0 overall mark. But, like Brown, his presence has helped lift a once-lowly defense into a respectable bunch.

Others to considerCB Mike Jackson: Jackson has been stingy as well, with three picks of his own. His 76.1 coverage grade from PFF also ranks sixth amongst all corners with at least 300 coverage snaps.SS Tre’von Moehrig: Moehrig was seventh in the returns at his position. He’s tallied the 11th-most combined tackles (81) amongst all safeties.P Sam Martin: Martin is tied for the fifth-most punts that’ve landed inside the 20-yard line.LS JJ Jansen: It’s JJ Jansen.
