Unfortunately for the Carolina Panthers, at least in this very moment, the only representation they have amongst the leaders in 2022 Pro Bowl voting is Haason Reddick.
Reddick, who has thus far garnered north of 61,000 votes, is currently the leading vote-getter for the NFC’s outside linebacker spot. But, some help may be on the way.
As reported by Joseph Person of The Athletic, Carolina has a trio of players gaining steam on the ballot. That includes defensive end Brian Burns, cornerback Stephon Gilmore and kicker Zane Gonzalez—who are each in the top 10 of their respective races.
The ranks, through the second returns, are as follows:
- Burns: fourth overall, second in NFC
- Gonzalez: eighth overall, fourth in NFC
- Gilmore: ninth overall, seventh in NFC
Each man, even Gilmore, has made their respective case for a ticket to the all-star festivities. Burns is tied for eighth in the NFL in sacks (8.0), Gonzalez hasn’t missed a kick since Week 4 and Gilmore has been absolutely lights outs in his limited time with Carolina.
Stick tight, Haason. The reinforcements could be soon approaching.
