For Hunter, this is his second-straight selection. He has 13.5 sacks on the season and just one away from his career-high mark of 14.5 that he hit last season. Earlier this season, he became the youngest player in NFL history to reach the 50-sack mark.
For Smith, this is his fifth-straight appearance on the list. He has 11 passes defended and a career-high two forced fumbles this season.
And for Cook, this is his first selection. Cook has been on a cold streak lately, going seven weeks without a 100-yard game. But his overall numbers are solid, rushing for 1,135 yards and 13 touchdowns to go with 53 catches for 519 yards.
A few players who probably should have gotten a look for the Pro Bowl include Kirk Cousins, Eric Kendricks and Anthony Harris.
We’ll have more about them in another piece.
