Two Ole Miss Rebels selected to the 2023 NFL Pro Bowl
Two former Ole Miss football stars have been selected to the 2023 NFL Pro Bowl. Former Rebel offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil, currently a Houston Texan, and former Ole Miss wide receiver AJ Brown, currently a Philadelphia Eagle, have each been honored.
Representing the AFC, Tunsil has been selected to his third Pro Bowl after being chosen in 2019 and 2020. Brown is in his first year with the Eagles, but this is his second Pro Bowl selection after being honored in 2020.Â
This year’s Pro Bowl will not resemble the event as it was in year’s past. The AFC and NFC representatives will not play an actual game of football — instead, the event will be comprised of various skill competitions and a non-contact game of flag football.Â

Tunsil, who was originally selected as the No. 13 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins, has been with the Texans since 2019.
He has started all 87 career games in the pros and has made the Pro Bowl three times in his four years with Houston.

AJ Brown
Brown was traded by the Titans to the Eagles in April of this year and he’s made an immediate impact.
