FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots will be represented by cornerback Christian Gonzalez and quarterback Drake Maye at the 2026 Pro Bowl, the NFL announced today. The annual all-star event will be played on Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2026, in San Francisco.

Gonzalez earns his first career Pro Bowl selection, while Maye is headed to the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive season, further underscoring the emergence of a young Patriots core that has helped earn the Patriots a playoff berth for the first time in four years.

With his selection, Maye becomes just the fourth quarterback in NFL history to begin his career with multiple consecutive Pro Bowl invitations, joining Andrew Luck (three straight), Russell Wilson (four straight) and Dan Marino (five straight). He also joins Patriots Hall of Famers Mike Haynes (five straight) and Curtis Martin (two straight) as the only players in franchise history to open their Patriots careers with at least two Pro Bowl selections.

Gonzalez is the first Patriots defensive back to earn Pro Bowl honors since cornerback J.C. Jackson in 2021, continuing a tradition of elite secondary play in New England.

In 2025, Gonzalez has started all 12 games in which he has appeared, recording 61 total tackles, 10 passes defensed, and consistently matching up against opponents' top receiving threats. His production has been a key factor in New England fielding the seventh-ranked defense in the NFL, ranking among the league leaders in passing efficiency allowed.

Maye has led one of the NFL's most efficient and explosive offenses, ranking first in the league in completion percentage (70.9), third in passer rating (108.5) and fourth in passing yards (3,947). Under his direction, the Patriots offense ranks sixth overall in the NFL and seventh in scoring.
