Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo has been selected for the Pro Bowl Games, stepping in for Kansas City Chiefs guard Trey Smith, who will not participate due to his involvement in the Super Bowl. This marks Seumalo's first appearance at the Pro Bowl.
During the 2024 season, Seumalo played in 13 games, starting each one despite missing four games because of a pectoral injury. He contributed to an offensive line that helped the Steelers achieve 11th place overall in rushing yards with a total of 2,166. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed only two sacks and one quarterback hit throughout the season.
In his second year with the Steelers, Seumalo started 30 games and provided veteran stability on the line. Over his nine-year NFL career, he has appeared in 111 games with 90 starts, including seven seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Seumalo joins other Steelers players named to the Pro Bowl Games: kicker Chris Boswell, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward, and linebacker T.J. Watt were voted as starters. Special teams player Miles Killebrew was also named as an injury replacement. However, Watt will not participate due to an injury. Additionally, Darrel Young from the Steelers' staff has been appointed to serve on the AFC staff for this year's event alongside Marcus Pollard from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
