2. Alshon Jeffery

Alshon Jeffery is another Chicago Bears player who got snubbed in the Pro Bowl voting last year.  Despite playing for most of the season with a nagging hamstring injury, Alshon still posted 85 receptions for 1,133 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2014, but it wasn’t enough to earn him the respect of voters.

There has been a lot of speculation this offseason on how Jeffery will do without Brandon Marshall diverting the defensive attention away from him, but I don’t see it as a problem.  Alshon has the size/speed combination to be downright unstoppable in certain situations, and nothing I’ve seen from him makes me doubt his ability to be the Chicago Bears clear-cut top wide receiver.

In fact, the absence of Marshall, combined with him playing the Demaryius Thomas role I Adam Gase’s offense, makes me believe that he could eclipse the 100 reception mark for the first time in his career.
