Dallas Cowboys star tight end Jake Ferguson received some great career news on Wednesday morning, learning that he has been named to the second Pro Bowl of his career after a strong bounce-back season.

Ferguson steps in to replace San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle, who suffered a torn Achilles in the NFL Playoffs.

Following the news, Ferguson’s fiancée, former Miami Hurricanes basketball star and social media influencer Haley Cavinder, couldn’t hold back her excitement.

Cavinder quoted the Cowboys’ announcement on Instagram Stories, along with the message, “So proud of you!!! Year 2 of Pro Bowl for [baby Jake Ferguson].”

With this year’s Pro Bowl nod, Ferguson becomes the fourth tight end in franchise history to earn multiple Pro Bowl nods, joining Jason Witten (11), Jay Novacek (5), and Billy Joe DuPree (3).

This season, Ferguson recorded career-highs in receptions (88) and touchdowns (8), after failing to find the endzone last season.

It’s been quite the year in the Ferguson household. During training camp, Ferguson inked a four-year, $50 million extension to make him the eighth highest-paid tight end in the league. He also got engaged to Cavinder, and is now kicking off 2026 on another high note. It’s a great time to be Mr. Ferguson.
