The Chicago Bears punched their ticket to the postseason this weekend after a monumental win over the Green Bay Packers and getting a little help from a former foe in Aaron Rodgers.

Now, it’s finally time to think big picture. The Bears are officially in the dance and now the question becomes what seed will the Bears actually end up with in the NFC and how far can this team actually take things in the postseason?

I know now might not be the time with Super Bowl hopes continuing to climb by the day, but the Bears are going to be well represented during the 2025 Pro Bowl as well based on the final fan vote rankings with the official rosters yet to be released on Tuesday. Let’s take a look at who make the Top-10 cut so far at their respective positions.

Chicago currently leads all NFL teams in total Pro Bowl fan votes with 26 players currently inside the Top-10 of their positions in Pro Bowl fan voting. Quarterback Caleb Williams and safety Kevin Byard rank 4th and 5th respectively among all players in the NFL.

It goes to show how talented this team really is this season and how much support they have not only from their own fanbase but around the entire league as well.

Of those 26 players, 10 lead their position in voting and 19 are inside the Top-5. That is unbelievable recognition for what the Bears have done this season.

While the ultimate goal is winning the Super Bowl for the Bears, having this kind of recognition means a lot considering it’s a collection of votes from the fans, players, and coaches. It means even more to earn that first Pro Bowl nod. Here are some players on pace toward doing so in 2025.

  • QB Caleb Williams
  • WR Rome Odunze
  • RT Darnell Wright
  • CB Nahshon Wright
  • ST Josh Blackwell
  • C Drew Dalman
  • DT Gervon Dexter Sr.
  • CB Tyrique Stevenson
