Fan voting for the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl is now open and will run through Thursday, December 16 on Twitter and NFL.com. Players and coaches will make up the other two-thirds of voting results.
The All-Star game will not be divided by conference this season, so Denver Broncos players will be competing with AFC and NFC players for votes. Given how poorly the team’s season has gone, the Broncos probably won’t be well-represented at the Pro Bowl in February.
Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon have both played well for Denver this year, but they split carries, which hurts their numbers compared to other productive running backs on the ballot.
Jerry Jeudy is an All-Star talent, but injuries and a struggling offense have prevented him from posting Pro Bowl-worthy numbers this season. Fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick don’t rank high in receiving categories, either.
None of the team’s edge rushers have posted big numbers following Von Miller’s departure, and Shelby Harris will be overshadowed by defensive lineman who have totaled more than his 2.5 sacks.
Pat Surtain has played well at cornerback, but probably not well enough to earn a Pro Bowl nod as a rookie. Safety Justin Simmons might have the best shot among Broncos players to reach the All-Star game thanks to his four interceptions.
Denver kicker Brandon McManus should also have a decent shot, but there are more popular kickers who will likely draw the fan votes.
The 2022 Pro Bowl will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday, Feb. 6 at 1 p.m. MT on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ABC.
