Laremy Tunsil makes another Pro Bowl as NFL honors former Ole Miss star
Former Ole Miss offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil was named a Pro Bowl starter by the NFL, the league announced on Thursday. The former five-star offensive lineman, who is a key cog for the Houston Texans, remains among the league’s top offensive linemen.
Tunsil has been selected to the Pro Bowl for the fifth time (2019-20, 2022-24) in his career after starting in all 16 contests for the Texans this season. Tunsil, now named a starter in back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances, has not surrendered a sack since Week 1 and currently holds the fourth-best pass-blocking grade (89.0) in the NFL and second-best in the AFC.
Taking place over two days in Orlando, Fla., the skills challenges will be broadcast live on Thursday, Jan. 30, on ESPN from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. CT and continue Sunday, Feb. 2, culminating in flag football.
Last season with Houston, Tunsil’s outstanding blocking efforts helped quarterback C.J. Stroud set numerous rookie passing records both league-wide and among franchise annals. His pass blocking also assisted wide receiver Nico Collins to become just the fourth player in team history to surpass 1,100 receiving yards in a single season.
