Deshaun Watson among 3 Texans who made the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl

The Houston Texans have three players who made the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl.

After fan voting and player voting was tabulated, quarterback Deshaun Watson, receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and left tackle Laremy Tunsil were selected as the AFC’s best in the Pro Bowl.

Watson is making his second consecutive Pro Bowl appearance, becoming the first Texans quarterback in franchise history to mark consecutive Pro Bowl selections. He also ties quarterback Matt Schaub for the most in Texans history.

Hopkins is starting to become a regular fixture in the all-star game as he earned his fourth career selection. The two-time All-Pro’s 99 receptions are second in the league behind New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas.

Tunsil making his first career Pro Bowl is another validation of how correct coach Bill O’Brien and the five-man general managing council was in bringing the former 2016 first-round pick to Houston.

Ultimately, while the Texans are pleased at such selections, they would prefer not to play in the game set for Sunday, Jan. 26 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla. Rather, they would prefer to be preparing for Super Bowl LIV.
