Jessie Bates Falcons NFC Pro Bowl Nate Landman Dale Zanine Jessie Bates III Keith Smith USA TODAY Sports NFL

The Atlanta Falcons are on track to have at least one starter in this year’s Pro Bowl. The NFL released an updated look at the Pro Bowl voting and Jessie Bates has moved into first place among free safeties in the NFC.

Bates moved up one spot from last week, and there’s no reason to think he won’t hold onto the top spot with the way he’s playing this season. Four other Falcons players are currently top 10 in votes received.

Check out where the team’s five Pro Bowl hopefuls rank at their respective positions below.
