Led by their star quarterbacks, the Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers had seven players chosen for the Pro Bowl.
The Baltimore Ravens also decided on seven players, adding former Maine University defensive lineman Pat Ricard, who won Pro Bowl honors for the time being.
The New England Patriots, plunged into a season that will finish a place in the playoffs for the first time since 2008 and a first-time loss record since 2000, have 3 Pro Bowlers: clearing kicker Jake Bailey, special teammate Matthew Slater and cornerer Stephon Gilmore.
Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City joins Josh Allen of Buffalo and Deshaun Watson of Houston as quarterbacks of the AFC. For NFC, it’s Aaron Rodgers from Green Bay, Russell Wilson from Seattle and Kyler Murray from Arizona.
Mahomes and Rodgers are the headlines, although there is no genuine game this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On January 31, players will be held during two Pro Bowl themed exhibitions broadcast by espn/ABC, with a virtual Pro Bowl party in the Madden NFL 21 video game.
The choices on the list were decided through the votes of the players, coaches and fans.
The leaders are DE Frank Clark, OT Eric Fisher, WR Tyreek Hill, DT Chris Jones, TE Travis Kelce and SS Tyrann Mathieu.
Baltimore has OT Orlando Brown, DT Calais Campbell, LS Morgan Cox, CB Marlon Humphrey, LB Matthew Judon, FB Patrick Ricard and K Justin Tucker.
“After all this year, it is a real blessing to be back in this position. Continuing to play football, and at a higher point, and being voted by my teammates and coaches, means a lot. It’s an honor for me, I appreciate it as a player,” Brown said.
For Green Bay, the six representatives are WR Davante Adams, CB Jaire Alexander, OT David Bakhtiari, G Elgton Jenkins, RB Aaron Jones and LB Za’Darius Smith.
Seattle has SS Jamal Adams, special team Nick Bellore, FS Quandre Diggs, WR DK Metcalf, LS Tyler Ott and LB Bobby Wagner.
Other notable options come with the offensive lineman of the Titans Derrick Henry, the NFL’s main runner, and the Highly Productive Receivers Keenan Allen of the Chargers and Stefon Diggs of the Bills for the AFC offensive. Watt of Pittsburgh and Darius Leonard of Indianapolis, corner Xavien Howard and Cleveland finale Myles Garrett were members of the team.
Outdoor Broncos supporter Bradley Chubb cried at a Zoom call after being chosen as a Pro Bowl starter while reflecting on his home by a previous cruciate ligament tear that knocked him out during the 2019 maximum.
“Just noticing the difference is huge,” Chubb said. “I’m sorry to be moved, I’ve experienced a lot this year. But it feels good.
Chubb ranks fourth in the NFL with 71. 2 catches and has 19 QB hits, nine tackled for defeat and a forced loose ball after missing 12 games last year and tuning his surgically repaired knee in a scrum at the stadium last summer.
For NFC, stars such as DeAndre Hopkins, Arizona runner, Minnesota offensive lineman Dalvin Cook, New Orleans runner Alvin Kamara and Philadelphia runner Jason Kelce succeeded, as was DE Cameron Jordan of New Orleans, LOS Angeles Rams DT Aaron Donald, LB Fred of San Francisco Warner , Rams CB Jalen Ramsey and Arizona SS Budda Baker.
