Surprise Pro Bowler

CMicks3110 : 5/17/2016 4:44 pm
If you could pick anyone on our roster that could be a surprise pro bowler this year (not the likes of our recent 1st round picks or big free agent signings) who do you think it would be?
Landon Collins  
BillT : 5/17/2016 4:47 pm : link
Maybe Pugh, Richberg or Tye.
Best case

Would be Newhouse but a pipe dream

not a surprise based on performance; just would be surprised if the all the twits recognized it.
I dont think there is any question  
Old Dirty Beckham : 5/17/2016 4:55 pm : link
If I can waive a magic wand and make someone on the roster a pro bowl player next year it would be Bobby Hart.

He's young, cheap and cost controlled at a position of need. It also adds depth to the OL by pushing newhouse to the bench.

Richberg  
Finch : 5/17/2016 4:57 pm : link
I think is a safe bet. Arguably one of the best centers last year
Marcus Kuhn  
njm : 5/17/2016 4:57 pm : link
Oh wait......
With the addition of Shepard  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 5/17/2016 4:57 pm : link
and if we can get a decent Cruz back.

I'm gonna go with Tye.
Richburg should have been a pro bowler last year.  
Red Dog : 5/17/2016 5:09 pm : link
Maybe they get it right this year.
Surprise guy?  
Mike in Long Beach : 5/17/2016 5:16 pm : link
Devon Kennard showed flashes of excellence. He could be a dark horse.

superspynyg : 5/17/2016 5:23 pm : link
He has the talent but there are still questions about how his injury will affect his play. Will he be able to grab with it? If he makes the pro bowl that means he is back and our pass rush is fixed.

is going to be the story in 2016.
I'll be original...  
adamg : 5/17/2016 5:45 pm : link
and say Hankins gets pro bowler status thanks in part to Snacks in the middle with him. 8 sacks and the pro bowl for the fourth year.
Heck if Eli makes it again it would be for some a surprise.  
BlueLou : 5/17/2016 5:48 pm : link
But I will double down on the defenders Kennard and/or Hankins.

Use All-Pro which actually carries weight. Pro Bowl sucks. So does the voting. I'd say Richburg but that's probably not much of a surprise.

Maybe Kennard can step up and play some great injury free ball. One can hope!
Richburgh  
DavidinBMNY : 5/17/2016 6:54 pm : link
He's one of the best centers in the league already, and if he has a strong year could push all-pro.
Hankins and (if he stays healthy)

Not Much Of A Surprise, But Well Deserved  
Trainmaster : 5/17/2016 11:01 pm : link


The suprise: Victor Cruz  
est1986 : 5/17/2016 11:11 pm : link
The best bet: Odell and Eli
Who deserves it and gets screwed: Pugh and Richburg plus Harrison and Hankins
Would it really be a 'surprise'  
Mike in Long Beach : 5/18/2016 12:11 am : link
if Hankins and/or Richburg get in. At this point I'd say Richburg is on track to make it even if he has a weaker season next year. He's being regarded as a top 3 center in the game.

As far as Hankins goes, the guy is a 2nd round pick and was an absolute beast two seasons ago. Maybe my definition of "surprise" is different, but he's a guy I expect to play right at that Pro Bowl level.

If he has a good year the media will be all over how he overcame the injury. Which means votes.
Perhaps Keenan Robinson....  
Milton : 5/18/2016 2:03 am : link
...if he stays healthy. I'm not sure if he would get the Pro Bowl votes one way or another, but it's possible he plays like one.
jennings, newhouse, jerry  
madgiantscow009 : 5/18/2016 2:28 am : link
tye, and the three linebackers would be the only surprises for me of the starters that are not rookies.

Jennings, Tye, and Kennard less of a surprise though.
Brad Wing!

A great surprise would  
Old Dirty : 5/18/2016 9:07 am : link
be Victor Cruz. I'd love to see it happen. A more believable surprise would be D. Harris on Special Teams, or Snacks Harrison at DL. I can see these two happening if we have a good year. Cruz would be awesome if that happens & I'd be thrilled for him.

BTW you guys throwing Cruz or Shepard out there as a surprise Pro Bowl  
BlueLou : 5/18/2016 12:11 pm : link
pick... yeah the team that has the WR who after his first two years has rewritten the record book AND rerecorded the all time NFL highlight reel of greatest receptions ever... is gonna send another WR to the Pro bowl?

It would be a surprise, I grant you...
I am going with Hankins  
dep026 : 5/18/2016 12:13 pm : link
he flashed in 2014, hurt/bad Dline in 2015.... I think he would benefit greatly from all these additions.
