Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster, replacing injured receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Sutton was originally voted a second alternate. It’s unclear who the first alternate was, but that receiver presumably was unable to participate.
Sutton had a breakout season in 2019, catching 72 passes for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns. He is the fastest receiver in franchise history to reach the Pro Bowl, topping stars including Demaryius Thomas (third season) and Brandon Marshall (third season).
Sutton will join Jarvis Landry, Keenan Allen and Tyreek Hill as the conference’s fourth All-Star receiver. If the Chiefs advance to the Super Bowl, the AFC will need to add a replacement for Hill.
Sutton is the second Bronco on the AFC roster, joining outside linebacker Von Miller. Safety Kareem Jackson and returner Diontae Spencer also have a chance to reach the Pro Bowl as third alternates.
Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis, who won two Super Bowls in Denver, will serve as one of the AFC’s team captains.
The 2020 Pro Bowl will be played in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, Jan. 26 at 1:00 p.m. MT. The game will be simulcast on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, ABC and Disney XD. Tickets to the game start at $45 on Ticketmaster.
