The Seattle Seahawks will almost certainly have a handful of players represented at the Pro Bowl again this year, which will be held in Orlando the week before the Super Bowl.
The rosters are set to be announced on Tuesday, December 17 at 5:00 p.m. PT, but the results of the fan voting – which accounts for one-third of the election process – are in, and three Seahawks are polling well.
Russell Wilson is second among NFC quarterbacks, behind Lamar Jackson of the Ravens, while linebacker Bobby Wagner and punter Michael Dickson are tops at their respective positions.
The votes are in, and #Ravens QB Lamar Jackson led all players with 704,699 fan votes for the 2020 Pro Bowl. One part of the equation. Here is a position-by-position breakdown of the votes pic.twitter.com/gXVvF6QmSE

While those three are almost certainly going to be extended Pro Bowl invitations for the second year in a row, the Seahawks have a handful of other players who could hear their name called as well.
Running back Chris Carson is approaching 1,200 rushing yards on the season, ranking fourth in the NFL, and should be named to the team this year after being an alternate last year.
Tyler Lockett is nearing the 1,000 yard marker, and although his performance has waned in the past few weeks thanks to an injury and a bout with the flu, he still seems like an option for the roster.
Finally, a few other defensive players (Jadeveon Clowney, Bradley McDougald, Shaquill Griffin) are strong candidates, at the very least as alternates.
Of course, the Seahawks have their sights set on a Super Bowl berth, which would cause each of their Pro Bowlers to decline their invitation while they get ready for the big game.
