The NFL has released the results of their first round of Pro Bowl voting, and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero was more than happy to pass that information along. And for the 7-5 Cleveland Browns, who find themselves within striking distance of a wildcard spot, six players are currently in the top-10 at their respective positions in voting. These names are headlined by defensive end Myles Garrett and offensive guard Joel Bitonio. However, kicker Dustin Hopkins is getting the respect amongst his peers for his ongoing heroics this year.
For the most part, the Pro Bowl is nothing more than a popularity contest among those with name recognition. The event has been stripped down to a weekend of carnival games headlined by a flag football game as well as the players have never taken the actual game on the field seriously for their own health. However, seeing the names of those who wear the brown and orange among the NFL’s best remains exciting.
Here are all six players who are currently within striking distance of making the Pro Bowl for their performances thus far in 2023.
