Fans, coaches and even players have sounded off on the very best to play this season, and the NFL is set to announce their 2020 Pro Bowl rosters for the AFC and NFC on Tuesday night.
While the Chicago Bears have had an overall disappointing season — which officially ended shortly after last Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers when Chicago was eliminated from playoff contention — there were some players that flashed during a somewhat dim season.
The Bears defense has allowed the third fewest points per game this season, but there have still been some underwhelming performances by some stars late this season. Still, cornerback Kyle Fuller and outside linebacker Khalil Mack are good enough to warrant them a spot on the Pro Bowl roster.
Chicago’s offense, on the other hand, has been disappointing from top to bottom. From quarterback to play caller. Well, except for receiver Allen Robinson, who just eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards on the season. It was the first time a Bears receiver accomplished the feat since Alshon Jeffery in 2014.
The Bears special teams have two dynamic return threats that should easily get nods at their respective positions. Kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson is not only the best returner in the NFL, but he’s having quite a season as a gunner, as well. Then there’s speedster punt returner Tarik Cohen, who ranks second in punt return yards with 284.
Here are five Bears players that should be selected for the 2020 Pro Bowl:
