O elenco para o Pro Bowl de 2017 finalmente foi anunciado. Mais do que o jogo em si, o anúncio importa pelo "status" que os jogadores ganham e pela coroação de uma boa temporada.

A equipe que teve mais nomeações em toda a NFL foi o Pittsburgh Steelers com 8. Ryan Shazier (o único defensor), Alejandro Villanueva, David DeCastro e Maurkice Pouncey vão se juntar aos "Killer Bees" (Antonio Brown, Ben Roethlisberger, Le'Veon Bell e Chris Boswell) como os nomeados do time da AFC North. Do outro lado, quem dominou as nomeações foram New Orlenas Saints e Philadelphia Eagles, 6 para cada lado.

Apenas 4 calouros foram nomeados para o Pro Bowl desse ano: Marshon Lattimore e Alvin Kamara dos Saints, Budda Baker do Arizona Cardinals (como especialista) e Kareem Hunt do Kansas City Chiefs.
