Former Clemson Star Headed to First Career Pro Bowl

Tee Higgins is now officially a Pro Bowler for the first time in his NFL career.

The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver and former Clemson star has been added to the AFC roster for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games, the Bengals announced Wednesday.

It marks the first career Pro Bowl selection for Higgins, who was voted as a second alternate on December’s Pro Bowl roster, but will now replace Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers.

The 2026 Pro Bowl Games are set for Feb. 3 in San Francisco, Calif., and will be televised on ESPN.

In 15 games this season, Higgins registered 59 receptions for 846 yards, and he tied for second in the NFL with his 11 touchdown receptions despite missing a couple of games due to concussions. He set a career-high with those 11 touchdown catches this season.

While Higgins had previously never been a Pro Bowler, he has been highly productive over his six NFL seasons since being selected by the Bengals in the second round (33rd overall pick) of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Coming into the 2025 season, he had caught 330 passes for 4,595 yards and 34 touchdowns across 70 career regular season games from 2020-24, while recording at least 900 receiving yards in four of his first five seasons, including back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns in 2021 and 2022. Higgins has also appeared in seven playoff games and ranks second in Bengals history in both postseason receptions (31) and postseason receiving yards (457).
