One is expected, the other is not.
The Green Bay Packers have two leaders at their respective positions in early Pro Bowl voting by fans.
David Bakhtiari, a four-time All-Pro who just signed a historic new contract, is the leading voter getter at offensive tackle for the NFC. No surprise there.
The Packers’ other leader? It isn’t Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams or Jaire Alexander.
Hunter Bradley is currently the leading vote-getter at long snapper.
Who says GM Brian Gutekunst can’t draft Pro Bowl long snappers? Bradley was a seventh-round pick in 2018 and has been the Packers’ long snapper each of the last three seasons.
According to the press release, the Packers have received the fourth-most votes overall.
According to NFL Communications, fans can vote for the 2021 Pro Bowl at NFL.com/ProBowlVote until Thursday, December 17.
