Erik McCoy has been named a Pro Bowler.
The National Football League announced Monday that the New Orleans Saints center has been selected for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games in Orlando.
McCoy is replacing Philadelphia Eagles center Cam Jurgens, who will not participate with the Eagles qualifying for the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
McCoy has been named a Pro Bowler for the second time with the Saints and is the first Saints center to earn Pro Bowl honors twice.
The 6-foot-4, 303-pound center was selected by New Orleans in the second round (48th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M. McCoy has played in all 81 regular season games and three postseason contests at center.
This past season, he was voted by his teammates as a team captain for the second consecutive season. McCoy missed ten games due to groin and elbow injuries, but still managed to anchor the middle of the offensive line for three of the team’s top four rushing yardage performances in 2024.
In the third year of its current format, the 2025 Pro Bowl Games will be a multi-day AFC vs. NFC competition in Orlando. The event will be wrapped up with a flag football game Sunday at Camping World Stadium.
