The 2025 season has not gone as planned for the Washington Commanders, who are now eliminated from playoff contention after a 31-0 loss to the Minnesota Vikings dropped them to 3-10.

But there are some bright spots littered throughout the roster, and one of them has a chance to make another addition to his Hall of Fame resume.

Linebacker Bobby Wagner ranked fourth for his position -- third among NFC linebackers -- in the first week of Pro Bowl voting. Should that position hold, Wagner will be heading to San Francisco for his 11th Pro Bowl in 12 seasons, tying him for the fifth-most appearances in NFL history.

While the Commanders' defense has underperformed this season, Wagner's play has remained consistent, despite being one of the oldest active players in the league, andis worthy of your vote. (You can do your part to send him to the Pro Bowl **HERE)**

"There's not really an off switch with him," head coach Dan Quinn said in August.

Wagner has always found a way in his career to rack up tackles. He has 14 consecutive seasons with at least 100 stops, which ties former Washington linebacker London Fletcher for the most all-time. Wagner's 14th season has the potential to be one of his best, as he already has 131 tackles, which ranks third in the NFL this year, through 13 games. He's on pace to have 171 for the year, which would be the second most of his career.

That production continued against the Vikings. Although the defense as a whole did not execute, Wagner was a standout in the Week 14 matchup, recording 16 tackles -- his most since Week 4 of the 2023 season -- and a sack. Wagner had 12 stops in the first half, which was the second most by Wagner in a single half in his career. It is the most he has had in a single half since Week 3 of the 2019 season.

"I wish I've coached him every year of my career," Quinn said. "He's very disciplined. He's very structured in his routine of how he goes about it. He's methodical."

Wagner's performance against the Vikings is how the 11-time All-Pro has played all season. Per Pro Football Focus, Wagner ranks fifth in run defense, fourth in pass rush and first in tackling among linebackers. He has a missed tackle rate of just 3.8% -- the fourth lowest of his career.

Wagner has also been opportunistic in coverage, grabbing two interceptions against the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. And quarterbacks like Jayden Daniels, who practices against him every day, know how difficult Wagner can be to prepare for.

"It is a chess match," Daniels said during training camp. "He might make a call; I might make a call. Just understanding what he's doing and what he's trying to accomplish."

While the season hasn't unfolded the way the Commanders wanted, Wagner continues to show that he is one of the best at his position, both in terms of active players and NFL history. Despite his age, Wagner has been reliable during his entire time in Washington, and he has a chance to make even more history by the end of the season. He's three tackles away from passing Donnie Edwards for fifth in all-time tackles and 14 away from passing Lavonte David for fourth.

So do Wagner a favor and vote him to another Pro Bowl. He's more than worthy of consideration. And while you're at it, make sure to show your support for Wagner on social media for being the Commanders' club winner for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.
