The Chicago Bears aren’t living up to their expectations this season, but there are several players that are playing some great football this season that should very much be in Pro Bowl consideration.
Here are 5 Bears that are having Pro Bowl years:
KR Cordarrelle Patterson
It’s an easy argument to make that Cordarrelle Patterson is the best kick returner in the league. Patterson is a threat every time he touches the ball, which he makes a point to do every chance he gets. And the numbers certainly back it up. After 13 games, Patterson has 755 kick return yards, which is the most in the NFL. His lone kick return touchdown against the Saints was 102 yards, the longest in the NFL this season. His 30.2 yards per return also ranks second in the NFL.
WR Allen Robinson
While the Bears offense has been a colossal failure this season — aside from the last two games — one player that has been playing out of his mind is receiver Allen Robinson. He’s a true No. 1 receiver in every sense of the word. Robinson, who has 76 receptions for 898 yards, is on track to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark with three games remaining. Robinson is averaging 69.1 yards per game, 11.8 yards per reception and has seven touchdowns on the year, which ranks sixth among receivers in the league.
CB Kyle Fuller
Coming off an All-Pro and Pro Bowl season, Kyle Fuller continues to be one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL. He’s a playmaker through and through, and he’s having another solid season for the Bears. Fuller leads the team in interceptions with 3 and has 69 tackles after 13 games, which already ties his career-best with three games left.
OLB Khalil Mack
While Khalil Mack’s stats haven’t lived up to expectations, the impact that he has on a weekly basis cannot be ignored. He’s one of the best defensive players in the NFL, and he’s always a threat to opposing quarterbacks. In 13 games, Mack has 41 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 4 passes defensed and 5 forced fumbles.
PR Tarik Cohen
Tarik Cohen is always a threat with the ball in his hands, whether that’s on offense or special teams. Heading into Week 13, Cohen ranked first in the NFL in return average at 10.3 yards. Following Thursday’s win over the Cowboys, Cohen leads the NFL with 265 punt return yards. His season-long return is 71 yards, which ranks second in the league.
