At 8-3-1, the Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the top teams in the NFC and making a push for a seed in the NFL Playoffs. It makes sense, then, that they have a plethora of players that, so far, are among the NFL’s top players when it comes to fan Pro Bowl voting.
Every year, the players are selected to the Pro Bowl using a combination of fan votes, player votes, and coaches votes. The fan voting recently began and, as mentioned, several Packers players are among the NFL leaders at their respective positions.
Some of these names, such as Micah Parsons, will not be a surprise. Others, though, may raise a few eyebrows.
Green Bay Packers players in the Top-10 of Pro Bowl voting
Last season, the Packers sent three players to the Pro Bowl: Xavier McKinney, Josh Jacobs, and Rashan Gary. It was Jacobs’ third career honor and the first for both McKinney and Gary.
This year, Green Bay is sure to, once again, send multiple players to the annual event. Based on the results of the fan voting so far, some of them may be making the trip for the first time.
Micah Parsons
Parsons is the leading vote-getter in the entire NFL for defensive end. He also has the third-most votes of any player at any position.
Jordan Love
Love has the eighth-most votes of any quarterback in the NFL and the fourth most votes among players at his position in the NFC.
Josh Jacobs
Like, Love, Jacobs ranks eighth among players at his position. He also ranks fifth among NFL running backs.
Rashan Gary
As mentioned, Gary made the Pro Bowl for the first time last season. Currently, he is the ranks seventh among defensive ends in the NFL and third among those in the NFC.
Xavier McKinney
Another first-time Pro Bowler last season, McKinney ranks fifth among NFL strong safeties and fourth among those in the NFC.
Evan Williams
Williams is actually listed on the top-10 rankings twice. He ranks fourth among NFL free safeties (third in the NFC) and is the top vote-getter in the NFL for special teams players.
Sean Rhyan
This may be surprising seeing as Rhyan has only played a few games at center, but he ranks fifth in the NFL among players at the position and is third in the NFC.
Zach Tom
Many fans felt that Tom should have been a Pro Bowler last year. Currently, he ranks seventh in both the NFL and NFC among right tackles.
Rasheed Walker
Playing in the final year of his rookie contract, Walker ranks 10th among NFL left tackles and ninth in the NFC.
Keisean Nixon
In his first season as “CB1” for the Packers, Nixon ranks 10th in voting among NFL cornerbacks and sits at seventh in the NFC.
Devonte Wyatt
The fourth-year defensive tackle ranks eighth in the NFL at his position and fourth in the NFC. Unfortunately, even if he is selected, he will not be able to play due to a broken ankle that has ended his season.
Edgerrin Cooper
The fan-favorite linebacker ranks 10th in the NFL and seventh in the NFC.
Matt Orzech
Despite the constant criticism Green Bay’s special teams gets, they have Williams as the NFL’s top vote-getter for special teams player and, surprisingly, Matt Orzech as the top vote-getter for long-snapper.
Daniel Whelan
The Packers punter ranks sixth in the NFL and third in the NFC.
Savion Williams
This one is wild because Packers returners have not been good at all this season and rank at the bottom of the NFL in every return category. Nevertheless, Williams ranks seventh in the NFL and fifth in the NFC in fan votes.
