The Chicago Bears joined the Jacksonville Jaguars and are the only two teams without a Pro Bowl representative. This can speak to the ability of both Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields because both were the strongest player for Pro Bowl consideration, but considering they had no one around them worthy of that honor but had no shot at making it this year.
However, the Jaguars and Bears are teams that have flashed this season, and there is a chance that we can see them start to put some Pro Bowlers on the roster. Who are five players on the current roster that we should expect to see in the Pro Bowl next season?
5. Justin Fields will be a Chicago Bears quarterback in the Pro Bowl next season
There is a real argument to be made that if Fields had another Pro Bowl-caliber player he would have made it this season. With Kirk Cousins and Geno Smith as two of the top three NFC quarterbacks, it may not be the highest bar for Fields to pass next season.
Fields is the only current player that you could even make a case for this season. Still, Geno Smith has been such a great story, and Kirk Cousins has the record. Fields does have the pursuit for the most rushing yards by a quarterback, which is pretty impressive and could get him consideration.
Still, the game is about winning as a passer, and Justin Fields knows that. That is what will come next season, assuming he gets help. Not many people saw Jalen Hurts as the surefire starter in the Pro Bowl this season, but when you add A.J. Brown to Devonta Smith, life starts to get easier.
If the Chicago Bears can get him help to improve his numbers as a passer, and he continues on this run with his legs, he will be a surefire Pro Bowl player next season.
