Stingley, the third overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, is making his Pro Bowl debut after a stellar third season. The cornerback started all 16 games, achieving career highs in tackles (54), tackles for loss (4), and passes defended (18), while tying his personal best with five interceptions. His interception total ranks sixth in the NFL, and his three December picks are tied for the most in the AFC. Stingley’s Week 15 performance, which included two crucial interceptions, earned him AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors and helped secure the Texans' second straight AFC South title.

Laremy Tunsil

Tunsil, a cornerstone of the Texans' offensive line, has been named to his fifth Pro Bowl (2019-20, 2022-24). Starting every game this season, Tunsil has not allowed a sack since Week 1. His pass-blocking grade of 89.0 ranks fourth in the NFL and second in the AFC. This marks Tunsil’s second consecutive Pro Bowl start, cementing his status as one of the league’s premier offensive tackles.

Collins is set to make his first Pro Bowl appearance following a standout fourth season. Despite missing five games due to injury, he has recorded 63 receptions for 968 yards and six touchdowns in 11 starts. Averaging 88.0 receiving yards per game, Collins ranks fourth in the NFL and second in the AFC. He is just 32 yards shy of achieving back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons, a milestone reached by only three other Texans receivers in franchise history.

Mixon is the only NFL player with at least 1,200 scrimmage yards in each of the past four seasons.
