It is that time of year in the NFL where Pro Bowl voting has closed and players will be announced as part of the annual Pro Bowl festivities. This year two former Longhorns and now teammates were selected to the 2019-2020 Pro Bowl. Both are members of the Baltimore Ravens who currently own the best record in the NFL. Should the Ravens make it to the Super Bowl then both players will be replaced on the roster as they will be preparing to chase their second Super Bowl championship.

Justin Tucker
There are many accolades for the former Longhorns kicker. Tucker is the most-accurate kicker in NFL history with at least 100 attempts. He owns many other accolades including fastest player to 1,000 points in NFL history. This season Tucker is hitting 95.8% of his kicks which is the 2nd best mark of his career (97.4% in 2016).
Earl Thomas
Former Longhorns safety Earl Thomas is enjoying his 10th season in the league and this marks his seventh Pro Bowl selection. The numbers aren’t the same for Thomas but he is still proving that he can be a force in the defensive backfield. He has 27 tackles, two interceptions and four passes defended this year.
You can watch both players in the Pro Bowl should the Ravens miss the Super Bowl on January 26, 2020 which will be aired on ESPN.
