Pair of Chargers named to 2021 Pro Bowl roster

A player from each side of the ball was named to the 2021 Pro Bowl.

The votes are in and there are two players from the Los Angeles Chargers named to the 2021 Pro Bowl roster.

While the actual game will not be held due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, wide receiver Keenan Allen and edge defender Joey Bosa have been acknowledged for their play this season.

A total of 88 players were named to the AFC and NFC Pro Bowl teams, with rosters determined by the consensus of votes of fans, players and coaches.

This marks Allen’s fourth Pro Bowl appearance. The 28-year old is on his way to setting a career-high in receptions and touchdowns, as he already has 100 catches and eight scores.

Meanwhile, this will be the third time that Bosa has earned this honor. Despite being banged up for the majority of the season, Bosa still has 27 quarterback hits, 15 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. He is 2.5 away from reaching the 50-sack mark.

Chargers’ Joey Bosa among top vote getters in early Pro Bowl voting

Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa is getting the recognition he deserves.

Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa currently leads all players at his position in the AFC conference in early Pro Bowl voting.

With one week of voting now complete, the NFL released the first set of Pro Bowl voting Wednesday and they show Bosa at the top with 62,029 votes.

Right underneath him is his brother, Nick, who’s leading the NFC conference in votes among all defensive ends with 72,506 votes.

It’s not all that surprising that Bosa is leading in votes. This season, he’s been a force in the trenches once again. Whether it’s getting after the quarterback or defending the run, his presence is known on a weekly basis.

Bosa has amassed 50 tackles (33 solo), 21 quarterback hits, 12 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks through 11 games.

The former Ohio State product has benefited from having his partner-in-crime, Melvin Ingram on the field. When both Ingram and Bosa are aligned on the same side, opposing offensive tackles are simply outmatched.
