De’Von Achane earns Pro Bowl nod while Jordyn Brooks only named as alternate.
The Miami Dolphins have one Pro Bowl player on their roster in 2025 — and to no one’s surprise, that player is running back De’Von Achane.
Achane was named to the AFC’s 2025 Pro Bowl roster on Tuesday morning, joining the Buffalo Bills’ James Cook and the Indianapolis Colts’ Jonathan Taylor in earning that honor. Miami’s 24-year-old ball carrier has 220 rushing attempts for 1,267 yards and 8 rushing touchdowns. He has added an additional 64 receptions for 459 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns. It is Achane’s first time being honored as a Pro Bowl selection.
Achane is 5th in the entire National Football League with 1,726 yards from scrimmage this season — sitting only behind Bijan Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons, Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers, Taylor and Cook.
While Achane was Miami’s only Pro Bowl starter, four players were named as alternates for the game — fullback Alec Ingold (1st alternate), receiver Jaylen Waddle (3rd alternate), safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (3rd alternate) and linebacker Jordyn Brooks (1st alternate).
Brooks’ exclusion from being named a starter in the 2025 Pro Bowl is a head scratcher, as his 2025 season at inside linebacker stands head and shoulders above the players selected ahead of him.
Azeez Al-Shaair of the Houston Texans has 96 combined tackles, 0 sacks, 1 forced fumble and 1 interception. Roquan Smith of the Baltimore Ravens has 124 combined tackles, 0 sacks, 0 forced fumbles and 0 interceptions. Jordyn Brooks has a whopping 169 combined tackles (which leads the league), 3.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble and 0 interceptions.
Brooks and Dolphins fans alike have plenty of ammunition when crying “snub” this season in regards to his Pro Bowl status.
