The Chargers are in a great position. They are currently 8-4 and the leader of the AFC Wild Card. A handful of players have contributed to the team’s success, and they are being recognized for their efforts.
The NFL kicked off Pro Bowl voting on Nov. 25 as fan voting opened for the public. Pro Bowl players are selected by consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Voting ends on Dec. 23.
Four Chargers players currently rank within the top 10 at their respective positions: Daiyan Henley (9th among inside linebackers), Scott Matlock (8th among fullbacks), Cameron Dicker (4th among kickers) and Joe Alt (6th among offensive tackles).
In his first season as a full-time starter, Henley has been a playmaker in the middle of the Chargers’ defense. He is currently tied for sixth in total tackles (114).
Since coming over to the offensive side of the ball while maintaining his role as a defensive tackle, Matlock has been a reliable two-way player and integral as a lead blocker.
Dicker has accounted for a good grip of the Chargers’ points when the offense struggled to find the end zone. He’s tied for the third-most field goals this season (27), with his longest coming from 59 yards out.
Alt is only in his first season as a pro, but he’s already looked like he’s been in the league for 10 years. He’s been a stonewall in pass protection and a road grader as a run blocker.
