Trent McDuffie could break Pro Bowl drought with LA Rams

Summary

Trent McDuffie has joined the Los Angeles Rams after a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. NFL analyst Kevin Patra has highlighted McDuffie as a candidate to make his first Pro Bowl in 2026. Despite being a first-team and second-team All-Pro, McDuffie has not received a Pro Bowl selection, something that could change with his recent move. The Rams acquired him for a significant package, including a four-year, $124 million extension, reflecting their commitment to strengthening their defense after ranking 19th against the pass last season. McDuffie aims to contribute effectively to a Rams secondary that struggled in critical moments last year.
