Browns: Looking at every player with a shot at the Pro Bowl
By Chad Porto
Browns players who are locks to go to the Pro Bowl
(If these players don’t get picked, there’s something wrong with the selection process)
Joel Bitonio
He’s missed just one snap all year on offense. The Browns iron man is one of the highest-rated offensive linemen in the league and has just one penalty and sack against him for the year. He’s been one of the team’s better all-around offensive linemen and his performance would have been even better if he had a more experienced version of Jedrick Wills next to him.
J.C. Tretter
J.C. Tretter has made like two mistakes all year. That’s really it. He’s been incredible for the Browns and considering how good the line has been with protecting Baker Mayfield, that and the fact the Browns are 2nd in rushing, are really all you need to argue for him.
Jack Conklin
Proving that it’s not hard to switch sides of the line, Jack Conklin came out of MSU as a left tackle and has emerged as the NFL’s best right tackle – at least one of. The Browns made the right choice going after Conklin in the offseason and he’s lived up to the contract given. In fact, he might deserve a raise, but that’ll come in time. Conklin’s play is undeniable and even with Wyatt Teller’s high marks in PFF, I’d argue Conklin has been the Browns best player all year. He’s not just very good at his job, but he’s durable as well.
Nick Chubb
He’s probably going to finish the season averaging over six yards per carry, will have double-digit touchdowns, and should break 1,000 yards despite missing four (nearly five) full games.
Myles Garrett
Even though Myles Garrett missed two games, and has hit a lull in production over his last four games, it’s hard to deny that Myles Garrett should be a Pro Bowler. Even if he finishes his season at the same pace over the last three games, as his previous four games, he’ll finish the season with 12 sacks, and that’s not something to sneeze at. The odds of him only having 1.5 sacks against the Giants and Jets seems far less likely to happen, than say, Garrett having an interception for a touchdown in the next three consecutive games. Their offense lines are awful and Garrett should feast.
