Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has earned a spot in the upcoming NFL Pro Bowl games in San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl 60.
He was originally listed as a second-team alternate when the initial Pro Bowl rosters came out in December and will be replacing Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers.

Higgins, 27, will be participating in this event for the first time in his six-year career and will join fellow Bengals’ wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase on the AFC roster.
The Bengals gave Higgins a four-year extension in March of 2025 in hopes he would continue to be a focal point of the offense. He more than lived up to the expectations that the franchise had for him with his performance last season.
Higgins battled through concussion symptoms and missed two games due to a head injury. Instead of cutting his season short in December when the Bengals were already eliminated from postseason contention, he still wanted to go out and play at a high level.
In 15 games for the Bengals during the 2025 season, Higgins caught 59 of his 98 targets for 846 yards and 11 touchdowns.
