I also don’t even know how they pick them now with fan/player voting but it will be interesting to see.

Hendrickson - this is a no brainer
Chase - has fallen off lately but I think he gets in

Reader should get in but he’s not a stats guy

I think McPherson will get there eventually but not with Tucker still around.

Burrow could make it but I am thinking Mahomes, Allen and Herbert. Other guys like Carr had good years and I am probably forgetting someone.

Who did I forget?  (Insert Drew Sample joke here)

I don't pay enough attention to Pro Bowl, but if they do 3-4 OLB separate from 4-3 DE, I think Hendrickson could be a starter across from Myles Garrett.
If not, I think it's Watt and Garrett as the starters with Hendrickson as backup.
I could also see Judon getting in over Hendrickson because of the popularity of the Patriots, but this won't matter if they separate 4-3 DE with 3-4 OLB.

I think Chase has to be in, as he's 2nd among AFC WRs in yards (behind just Tyreek Hill).
The only other receivers ahead of Chase in AFC are TEs Andrews and Kelce.
Chase is 1st among AFC WRs in TDs, one ahead of Hill.

Burrow, as you said, might not make it over Mahomes, Herbert, and Allen. With that said, I would argue Burrow would surpass at least Allen if he had anywhere near the number of attempts as those guys. He's at 435 (not a typo), Allen is at 528, Herbert 542, and Mahomes at 549.
That's basically an extra 2-3 games worth of passes that Burrow doesn't have.

Ogunjobi might get in as an alternate based on his sack numbers. He's tied with Cam Heyward at 7.0 sacks, behind just Jeffery Simmons at 7.5 sacks for IDL.
I know I've not been happy with Ogunjobi during November, but he's picked up his sack production in December, adding 3.5 in this month alone so far.
