Just ahead of Christmas, several former Notre Dame football stars got an early present. On Tuesday morning, the NFL announced the AFC and NFC rosters for the 2026 NFL Pro Bowl, and among the five Irish who made the teams, Joe Alt might be the headliner if only because it's his first Pro Bowl in just his second pro season.
Alt is one of three Chargers to make the AFC roster and one of three who are making their first Pro Bowl. Alt is joined by another ex-Irish star who is also in his first Pro Bowl as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
