Rams’ Puka Nacua Ecstatic About Pro Bowl Selection

With another standout season in full swing, Puka Nacua has been selected to the 2026 Pro Bowl roster ahead of the Los Angeles Rams’ Week 18 Monday night matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Now earning his second Pro Bowl nod in just three seasons, Nacua’s week-to-week consistency and production continue to place him among the NFL’s elite wide receivers. Despite the individual recognition, Nacua was quick to deflect praise toward those around him, starting up front.

“It starts up in the front,” Nacua said. “I just think, man, I can’t do it without these guys.”

Nacua credited the Rams’ offensive line for its protection of quarterback Matthew Stafford, who was also named to this season’s Pro Bowl and is an MVP candidate. Offensive linemen Coleman Shelton and Rob Havenstein were the first teammates to congratulate Nacua following the announcement.

The appreciation didn’t stop there. Nacua highlighted the impact of his quarterback, praising Stafford’s leadership and résumé of elevating his receivers.

“There’s no one I’m more grateful for than No. 9,” Nacua said. “You think of Matthew having great wide receivers and leading them to great seasons. There’s nobody I’d rather be catching balls from.”

Joining Nacua and Stafford on the Rams’ Pro Bowl roster are linebackers Byron Young and Jared Verse, further highlighting a strong all-around season for Los Angeles.
