Good Morning Football.
Hey, everybody, welcome inside Good Morning Football.
Really special hour.
Here we are presented by Old Trapper Feature the Other live in LA and New York. It's Thursday, January second. This is off bar Buzbe Miller. There's Peter Striker, There's Rant I'm Jamie Rdall. Very incredible honor that we have this morning to reveal.
The twenty twenty four Pro Bowl players.
Now we will do the offensive players first in this segment, and then just minutes away we'll do the defensive side of the ball. We've got AFC and NFC. We're going to go around the clock, pass the ball, and then we're going to unpack it a little bit. So stay right here. The rosters have been determined by the consensus votes of the fans, of the players, and the coaches.
Those are three groups. Each group's vote counts as one third. So we shall begin.
We will start with these signal callers in the AFC.
Peter, the floor is yours.
Thank you, Jamie. I have great honor in doing this.
AFC quarterbacks first up, the quarterback for the Buffalo.
Bills and an MVP candidate, Josh Allen.
Josh Allen is headed to his third Pro Bowl selection. The second quarterback from.
The AFC Joe Burrow.
Burrow, like Josh Allen, this is his third Pro Bowl selection.
So who the third is it? Mahomes or Lamar? Who do you go with?
The third quarterback from the AFC is Lamar Jackson, two time MVP. Lamar's fourth Pro Bowl selection. Patrick Mahomes not selected in the top three quarterbacks in the AFC, Josh Allen will be the starter based on the voting results. Has the asterisk right there, Josh Allen. Congratulations on this honor, Peter.
Look at those names.
Those are headline worthy first round quarterback names. Things get a little more interesting on the NFC side of things. NFC quarterbacks going to the Pro Bowl as according to the votes, making his first ever Pro Bowl appearance as a rookie, it is Washington Commander's quarterback Jaden Daniels. An incredible start and acceptance of the fans and the coaches and the players for the number two overall pick to Washington. That's awesome for jad and Daniels making his first Pro Bowl from the Minnesota Vikings is Sam Darnold on his fourth team in the NFL.
The story is incredible.
Thirty five touchdown passes. For some would argue, at least west of the Mississippi the best quarterback in the NFC. And rounding out the quarterbacks in the NFC, Jared Goff from the Detroit Lions. Now on the east side of Mississippi, they're going to say that's the best quarterback in the NFC. So wherever you live, these are your NFC quarterbacks that has got fourth Pro Bowl appearance.
Look at those names compared to.
What you're seeing in the AFC side of things. This is awesome for the rookie and two guys that are not on the teams that they started with.
Those three quarterbacks, Tyle are going to the Pro Bowl from the NFC.
I'm just looking, Jamie. I'm still looking for Baker Mayfield. I don't see them. But now I'm looking to running backs in the AFC. AFC running backs, this is non sa Quan edition.
Selected to his fifth Pro Bowl.
The King l Ray Baltimore, Raven Dereck Henry the number one of the AFC running back He was there last year in Orlando. He'll be there this year in Orlando, of course, unless he's playing in New Orleans next in his first year a recurring theme here with the Houston Texans Joe Mixon. Fantastic year in Houston. It is his second, He's now made it as a Bengal and a Texan. And third in the AFC running backs, the Indianapolis Coats Jonathan Taylor. This is his second Pro Bowl appearance. Taylor the home run hitter, huge flurry at the end of the season, not enough for the Colts, but enough for him to be voted into the Pro Bowl. AFC running Backs Dereck Henry, Joe Nixon, Jonathan Taylor, and big Number twenty two will be your starter at Barbarsivia.
Well, Kyle, that's a nice list for the AFC. Let's now shift over then to the NFC running backs. And of course this one right here is special because he just hit the two thousand yard mark and now he is being named to his.
Third Pro Bowl.
From the Philadelphia Eagles, Saquon Barkley, What an amazing year. And of course we have to get to the next from the Detroit Lions, making his second Pro Bowl in the most prolific offense. This year, mister Jamiir Kids and next, in his first season with the Green Bay Packers making his third Pro Bowl, none other than Josh Jacobs. Josh Jacobs having an outstanding year. Those are your running backs right there, Sae Kwon Barkley, Jamiir Gibbs and Josh Jacobs. And guess what, Saquon Barkley will be your starter.
Hmmm. That's from the NFC side of things. We love the run game. List.
Let's move on to the wide receivers. We're going to start in the AFC. I take you to who could become the fifth ever wide receiver to win the Triple Crown. That is Jamar Chase making his fourth Pro Bowl from the Cincinnati Bengals, the only veteran Pro bowler from the AFC wide receiver group. That's a little tease for what is to come next. Up from the Houston Texans making his first appearance at the Pro Bowl. That's Nico Collins, the Michigan Man. Of course, he has been a reliable source for offense for CJ shrouding this Texans offense as they move forward.
Congratulations an Eco Collins and.
Then another first timer, Day Flowers with the smile that could light up a scoreboard. Fourteen siblings season on unbelievable kid day Flowers in his second year in this Baltimore Ravens offense. He is cooking with Todd Munkin and the rest of that offense. Yet another first timer, this time from the Cleveland Browns.
You've heard his name a lot.
Jerry Judy making it to the Pro Bowl, Jamar Chase and three first timers. Those are your ASC wide receivers, Nico Collins, Day Flowers, and Jerry Judy. Chase and Judy will be your starters for the Pro Bowl.
Congratulations guys, Peter, how cool is that?
Let's go to the NFC.
We're going to start in Minnesota, where for the fourth time in his career he'll be going to the Pro Bowl. No surprise here, this guy's on his way to a Hall of Fame career. It's Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings.
Next up.
Well, we won't seem anymore this season, but we're when he's back for the Pro Bowl games. He wears number eighty eight for the Dallas Cowboys and he'll be making his fourth Pro Bowl as well. Same draft class, mister C. D. Lamb is a Pro Bowler. This one is special from the Washington Commander.
Yeah, going to the Pro Bowl, mister Scarry.
Terry himself, Terry McLaurin is headed to the Pro Bowl games. And last but not Lea's his third Pro Bowl. He's going to the playoffs and he is one of the best wide receivers in the sport. A Mon Ross Saint Brown. Here are your four NFC wide receivers. Your two starters will be first rounders from the same draft class. I'm sorry, the two starters will be two guys in the NFC North will be squaring off this weekend. Justin Jefferson and a Mon Ross Saint Brown. Congratulations to these four awesome NFL superstar I like that group, Peter.
I like the tight ends.
In fact, I'm gonna give you four right now. Two tight ends per conference will be representing in the Super Bowl. And the first one has never been to a Pro Bowl because the first one has never played an NFL season before this year. Guy there is right out of the gates, Rock Bowers. Right, let's not even waste any time. Let's get right to the headline from the Las Vegas Raiders, Rock Bowers. The rookie, the record breaking rookie. Whatever he does in the Pro Bowl, will probably have seventy catches in the flag football game.
That's all he does. Brock Bowers. Welcome to the NFL, Welcome to the Pro Bowl.
From guy making his first to guy making his tenth, one of the best to ever do it. Travis Kelcey of the Kansas City Chiefs, who also is the leading vote getter of any player in any position. That'll be in a documentary someday. It's an incredible thing. Kelsey Pro Bowl number ten. Peter, will he be playing.
In that Pro Bowl?
He lit a bigger things on the docket.
Kelsey being his tenth and the number one guys in his first.
But go to the NFC though. This guy's always here. We love this guy. It's Kiddle.
Kittle's back is six Pro Bowl an institution in a year that was very go for the forty nine ers, Kittle still made plays. Kittle still did what he does dominate. Have something to say about it.
But this is cool too.
Another first timer. We love this guy. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals. He's got a touchdown. Now, he's got a Pro Bowl bid. Now trade McBride. We love him. I drafted him phantasy because Peter told me to in August. Rake out, Peter, I love you, absolutely incredible.
Finally got that touchdown this week.
He did, but a lot of yards before that.
There are your tight ends, Rock Bowers, Travis Kelcey and the AFC, and George Kittle and Trey McBride of the Cardinals in the NFC.
Kittle and Bowers your starters.
Tight end.
University is getting very full with stars.
That's cool.
Let's go on the.
Offensive line and the fullback from the AFC.
We love this. This is a big one here.
Brenton Nelson, Joe Toney, Tray Smith, Creed, Humphrey Tyler, Lynnerbaum makes it. Dion Dawkins his fourth Pro Bowl, Laramie Tunzel is on the list, of course, fifth Pro Bowl, Rashaun Slater, and then headliner. Come on now, project pat himself Patrick Ricard as the fullback.
From the AFC.
Congratulations to all these deserving gentlemen.
This is a beautiful image here.
I love this graphic so much so that I have one from the National Football Conference too. You want to see the offensive line in full back from the NFC going to the Pro Bowl. You know you do, big Ol'd Landon Nickerson from the Eagles, Tyler Smith Cowboys, Tyler Chris Lynch, choum, excuse me from the Falcons, Frank rag Now, Cam Jurigens, Big Lane Johnson. That's three Eagles guys, tennay Sewell maybe top to bottle of the best player in the NFL, Tristan Wurks. And then if you check's not there, it is not a Pro Bowl.
That is number nine for the NFC fullback.
They cannot have the event without jus c z Zyk.
That's how I spelled Pro Bowl. Jamie Incredible's Kyle.
When your voice hits the next octave, you know you're talking about fullbacks, use check and recard.
Just got that treatment. There they are.
It's the Pro Bowl rosters from the offensive side of the ball. We'll have the defense in just a couple of minutes on GMFB, but first let's take a minute and just recognize, Peter, some of those guys that jump out.
To you, I know what I think is cool.
We spent a lot of time on this show lamenting early in the season about this Chief's offensive line and the fears of the Chiefs offensive line.
We know that Kelsey's going to the Pro Bowl.
I love that three different Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman. We'll be filling out that roster here, Trey Smith, Creed Humphrey, Joe Toney.
They're all going to the Pro Bowl. They all got voted in.
Now, whether they play or not, that's going to be depending on if the Chiefs get stopped in this playoff run. But what a testament to the guys protecting Patrick Mahomes. I'm here for it, those three dudes. Despite a lot of doubts going to the season about this Chiefs offensive line, that yet again are headed to the Pro Bowl games and deservedly so.
I like that all the Chiefs linemen are in there, but the chief quarterback isn't. So you have the Chiefs linemen, but you have Lamar and Burrow and Allen. My question is like, is one of these guys gonna be in the Super Bowl or could all three of them just show up to the Pro Bowl because, oh, what do you know? Mahomes is in the Super Bowl. I would also say this, Josh Allen is typically one of those guys who does not show up for the Pro Bowl. He ends this season he gives all he has and then he goes away somewhere, doesn't show up. Maybe he's injured, Maybe he's quote unquote injured.
There are ways.
He wasn't there last year in Orlando, he wasn't there the year before in Las Vegas.
Unless he's in the Super Bowl. It'd be cool to see Josh Allen show up and play some flag football. I would love to see him there.
But again, leading vote getter in the entire NFL, behind that Chiefs offensive line, that Bill's quarterback, not.
To make the Pro Bowl launch.
You always want to have the guys at the Pro Bowl games that are going to bring the energy and the personality and just to be genuinely thrilled to be there. And that's why I look at Zay Flowers. You know, I have a Fantasy football relationship with Save Flowers just because I randomly drafted him in August and now everyone thinks that like I've taken ownership.
Of his campaign. This guy did it all on his own.
He is a first thousand yard wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens since Forrey Smith did it back in twenty thirteen. He's got one thousan forty seven yards this season, which is most by a Ravens wide receiver since Steve Smith did it twenty fourteen. This is crazy, This is crazy for his eight flowers. It's awesome for him. He's so cool. And then when I saw the Ravens play on Christmas Day and I saw this man warming up in Houston. Patricard is a massive man, and like, I mean that in the most loving way possible. I love the fact that Patrickcard is going to the Pro Bowl games. I think he can get down with pretty much any category, event, what have you.
He's an awesome dude.
And we love to see the Patricard name on the AFC side of the Pro.
Bowl cross who else gets down mister Cam Jurgens. You know, there was a big concern after, of course Jason Kelcey retires Elise the Eagles is like who's going to step in and the fact that Cam Jurgens is being on it this way getting the Pro Bowl. He led this team that was you know, that carried a running back who rushed for two thousand yards. So congratulations to Cam Jurgens. And you think about also to the fact that in twenty twenty three he was playing he started eleven games at the right tackle. But he's a big reason the ball starts with the center. People would have to always remember that it starts with Cam Jurgens. Anytime you get in the ball to your quarterback or to your running back, start running back. But this is a big reason you see multiple guys from this line in the Pro Bowl.
For Cam Jurgens.
Shout out to him and not to mention doing this his very first Pro Bowl, doing this in his rookie contract. That's a massive boost in salary for anybody who's selected, and especially if you're drafted after the first round.
YEP, put it in the bio line. Those guys that we just.
Listed are on the Pro Bowl roster for the twenty twenty five games. In a couple of weeks in January, we're going to talk all about how we're going to be involved in it.
I think Kyle might be going, but we're going.
To reveal who will be going on the defensive side of the ball. And I love the Schreker question it up, will that guy be actually playing or will he be waiting for a Super.
Bowl defus.
Welcome back to GMFB. We got a buzz right now on a Thursday morning. It's because of that last segment we revealed the offensive Pro Bowlers from both the NFC and the AFC, all across quarterback offensive line. Peter remind us who are the three AFC Pro Bowl quarterbacks.
Three AFC Pro Bowl quarterbacks are Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow.
No Patrick Mahomes, not at all.
Remember this is fan vote, coach vote, player vote, all combined.
Now it's time to reveal the defense. Let's go.
Let's start with the outside linebackers. These are edge rushers from the AFC.
This is awesome, first.
Time Pro Bowl from Denver, Nick Benito. This guy made plays all year long on a team that is in position to go through the Super Bowl, or rather to the playoffs maybe the Super Bowl, largely because of their defense. Nick Benito, Peter first Pro Bowl selection, love to see it and I love this dynamic.
First for Benito.
Ninth for this guy Khalil from the LA Chargers. It's a guy defensive player of the Year as a Raider, some great years in Chicago and now going to Pro Bowl.
Number nine, Top five pick.
Awesome, top five pick now goes to the Pro Bowl.
The People's pick and then here we go on the Pittsburgh Steelers making.
A seventh Pro Bowl. Gee, Jay, what the only player.
In the NFL that in my home has a life size six foot fathead.
I own that in my residence. I love TJ. Watt. My family doesn't Soto. Everybody voting.
So here you go, guys outside linebackers, call them edge rushers. Benito and Watt will start with Mac from the.
Chargers coming off the bench. If you will, Jamie, what else you got for us?
Let's take you to the same position group with the NFC side of things. I like that we've been assigned these various groups because now I feel like I'm taking ownership of the names that I myself have revealed for the Pro Bowl games. And you're gonna understand why I say that right now, because I have two Minnesota Vikings who are making their first appearances on the Pro Bowl roster. Starting first with Jonathan Grenard in from Houston. He joins this Brian Flores defense making his.
First Pro Bowl.
Is Jonathan Grenard playing lights out alongside his teammate with the beautiful glowing locks. Pick six, fastest guy you can see coming out of that backfield, Andrew van Ginkle making his first Pro Bowl appearance. How is that possible when you have a mean like that, awesome guys with this Vikings defense, two first time Pro Bowl selections in Gernard and Van Ginkle, and then there's just a straight up first timer in the rookie Jared Verse from the LA Rams. He is rounding out the NFC side of things for the linebackers. An awesome story for Verse, coming out of Florida State, his first selection alongside to the veteran guys. But on new teams, those are your NFC outside linebackers.
This is a beautiful group. Look at that as nasty right there, Peter, All.
Right, let's go to the corners, Jamie, you just gave the linebackers there. The corners is a very contromarsial position, proud players in the league, who made the Pro Bowl, who got the votes. Start off with a friend of the show and a guy who's been around for a long time making his fourth Pro Bowl and maybe had his best season as a Baltimore.
Raven, Marlin Humphreys.
In guys, I'm gonna Marlon.
Humphrey awesome season.
Pemphrey, of course, had the big pick against the.
Steelers on that Saturday game.
Next up Houston Texans, a top five selection from a couple of years ago. An absolute shutdown corner. First Pro Bowl for Derek Stingley junior. Next for the third time, a guy who's being talked about as a potential defensive player of the Year in the NFL.
That is Pat Sirtan the second. Pat Sirtan had.
His best season at Pro last, but not least, his fourth time making it from a Cleveland Browns team that did not have a lot of positive moments this year, this guy did. Denzel Ward makes it. Congratulations Denzel Ward, I'll tell you my favorite defensive back in football. Trent McDuffie not voted in so now Ma Holmes and McDuffie both Chiefs not making it, while these guys are all deserving to go. Marlon Humphrey, Derek Stingley junior, Patser Tans second, and of course making his fourth time as a Pro Bowler.
Denzel Ward, Congratulations to those men.
Congratulations. A great list for the AFC. Now let's get to the dogs on the NFC side. So let's hit the corners right now. From the Karenline of Panthers making his first ever Pro Bowl is mister J. C.
Horne.
This dude is a dog, a player.
Therefore the Carolina Panthers, and I know they didn't have a good record, but this is a dude that definitely stood out. We head to the Windy City. This is his second selection. From the Chicago Bears, mister Jalen Johnson. Jalen Johnson, another outstanding cornerback. And up next from that stingy Bikings defense, Yes, making his first appearance. Give him some love because Byron Murphy, you are going to the Pro Bowl. And finally from the Seattle Seahawks, making his second appearance in the Pro Bowl.
It's mister Devin Witherspoon.
So those right there, those guys right there are your corners representing the NFC. JC Horn, Jalen Johnson, Byron Murphy, and of course Devin Witherspoon. Jalen Johnson and Byron Murphy. Those guys, they'll be your starters, all right.
School to see a bear and a panther up there.
Sometimes decision doesn't go what you like, but you get after it individually, you get some recognition.
Defensive lineman, guys.
These are guys to get after the quarterback, pure and simple, the true defensive end pass rushers.
Would start in the AFC his fourth Pro Bowl team.
This guy's become an institution from the Las Vegas Raiders. Max Crosby, that's.
Ma x X. I mentioned it. Peter did as well. Sometimes the season does go as you want. You still play ball, you still get recognized. Crosby is going to the Pro Bowl again, Cleveland.
You know this guy's going sixth Pro Bowl for Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett, as of right now, is your NFL sack leader tied with one other player also in the AFC, And what do you know also voted into the Pro Bowl AFC North.
Trey Hendrickson a nobs guy.
He doesn't say much, he doesn't wear gloves. You go into a dark alley. You want Trey Hendrickson with him. Big game coming up from Hendrickson has been going.
To the final week, But none of that matters in this context. Me are going to the Pro Bowl. Crosby, Garrett, Hendrickson. That's a crew right there. Pretty good?
What else we got next seaside?
I see your Crosby, Garrett and Hendrickson, and I take you to San Francisco making his fifth Pro Bowl and absolute menace coming at quarterbacks. It's Nick Bosa. This Nick Bosa is a nightmare, five time Pro bowler. You see him later in January. This is tremendous. He is awesome. And again despite the forty nine Ers not having the best season, this guy stayed on.
The field and continue to make a name for himself. Next we take him to Green Bay his first Pro Bowl.
The Michigan man, Rashan Gary looking awesome in this Packers defense going to the playoffs. He was absolutely surging as the season went on in this position group, and now he's a first time Pro bowler. Sean Gary, congratulations. And then, of course you can have an NFC. You can't have this position group. You can't have the Pro Bowl without Mike Arson's without Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys, a four time Pro bowler now heading to the Pro Bowl games. My god, I don't know which one is, Lucarrier, the NFC or the AC side of things. I think because I'm saying Nick Bosa, Rashaun Gary, Michah Parsons here, that's who I will take. Those are your starters for the NFC Pro Bowl at the defensive end spot.
All right.
I like that, the C gap, the seed gap guys, the andeds rushers. But let's get into the interior, the guys who are controlling the A gap and the B gap. Let's get to the men in the middle. And we're gonna start off with the run stuffers. From the interior lineman. We'll start with the AFC making his seventh Pro Bowl from from the Pittsburgh Steelers, none other than Cam Hayward. This thing is killing it in the middle, all right. And next from the Kansas City Chiefs. This is now the sixth selection for Chris Jones. We know he is the dominant force. We talked about this defense for the Kansas City Chiefs. It starts with Chris Jones. His ability to be disruptive up front. That is a difference maker. And next from the Baltimore Ravens making his second Pro Bowl, the Ravens Mada bu weekend. He is he is right now we can having for that team. And I'll tell you right now that defense is a different defense without Nambi. So recapping the AFC interior defensive lineman, Cam Hayward, Chris Jones, and of course Nambi Matabu Weekend and Cam Hayward and Chris Jones, those guys, they'll be your starters.
All right, we are there at the AFC. How about the NFC. Let's go to the NFC where we start in Philadelphia. Were making his first Pro Bowl selection in his second season from a Georgia Bulldog Eagles.
Jalen Harder is going to be a Pro Bowler for the first time in his career. Dominant for us upfront and going along with him right up.
I ninety five well be one of the few bright spots of the New York Giants. Sexy Dexi Dexter Lawrence will make his third Pro Bowl team despite being injured earlier in the season.
And then finally we talk about him on the show a lot.
He can run the ball, he can go into coverage, he can block as a fullback, but it's best skilled come up with just dominating the interior for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Making his second Pro Bowl. Vita, may hear your big men from the NFC. I would not want to be a running back going up against these guys in an NFL game.
Jalen Carter, Dexter Lawrence, and Vita Veya.
Congratulations to those three young talented superstars.
Absolutely, Peter, let's take you to the AFC side of things in the middle linebackers. But look at this crew of defensive and special teamers from the AFC. Across the screen we see a lot of friends of the show. Congratulations, who's that year Franklin, Brokwan Smith, Minka Fitzpastor, Kyle Hamilton starting a strong safety, Derwin James.
Backing them up.
Then your special teamers Logan Cook, Chris Boswell having himself a year and did he gadget did he? Marvin Mims Junior as your kick returner, Brendan Schooler, and then of course Ross Mattisik from the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's your AFC defensive and special teams Kyle.
There's more pictures on that than the game. Dame Morning Hey show each week. I love it rounding out the team d NFC. Here you go, guys, I love this all the way.
In the left, another Eagle, Zach Bond making his first Pro Bowl, Fred Warner, Perennial, Xavier McKinney from the Packers, Boona Baker, Perennial, Brian Branch that Lions defense.
You love to see it, and it's interesting. The Lions offense is so good, and.
Yet there's their punter right there in the middle, Jack Fox moving over to the place kicker Brandon Aubrey, you know him, just kicking nukes for Dallas. My favorite person of my personal favorite Dallas cowboy, Comante Turpin.
I love Camante Turfin as a kick returner.
He and Dita Vay will be together again.
Yes, the reunited, Peter.
Is it? And then you get this one like kind of stock special team or there's nothing stock about Cadarrel Hodges.
Amazing.
And then of course the legend a long snapper from the Minnesota.
Vikings, Andrew de Paula. That's a great crew right there.
Rutger Zone.
Absolutely, that is your defensive side of the ball. And of course the special teamers as well. For the twenty twenty four Pro Bowl, guys, pick somebody, pick anybody, a team, a position, Peter, what stood out to you?
Well, I think you nailed it earlier in the segment. For Jonathan Garnard and Andrew.
Van Ginkel to both be voted to the Pro Bowl in their first seasons as Vikings' is a testament to those players. It's also a testament to the GM craciadopo mensa. These are free agent signings. How rare is it that you get a free agent signing who actually goes on and not only performs, but does so at a Pro Bowl level. So many times we see veteran signed and it's a swing and a miss and it wasn't.
The right fit.
The Vikings struck gold in free agency on defense, and of course Brian Flores is enjoying having both of these guys manned the middle for them. Andrew Van Ginkel and Jonathan Garnard, congratulations, pro bowlers in your first seasons as Minnesota Viking.
Reasonably important pieces of the Minnesota Vikings, Peter, and yet I don't think the most important Pro bowler that's my guy, Andrew Depaula.
The long snap.
I will never not be fascinated by long snappers in any walk of life, especially at the NFL level.
You're the best.
I don't know exactly how you vote on a long snapper being better than the other thirty one, but I know to Paula fits all the characteristics, which that's.
The other one. That's that's the other one. I liked Paula. I like matistic, I like them all.
The fact that they're going to be there in Orlando representing just sat there snapping.
I will manage to talk to them because I will be there, Jamie, who do you like?
I find that we have overlooked somebody that I think had a very special place and moment on this show. And if we had anything to do with anyone's vote onto the Pro Bowl roster, it's this guy.
Take a listen, guys, are you familiar with the name Zach bon jaq baon.
He's doing everything that zac one Zach.
B who has eighty plus tackles, two plus sacks, and an interception this season.
Are you sure about two techs?
That's born shut Bond.
Peter, the conductor for Zach Bond's Pro Bowl appearance, a tremendous job, Peter Schrager, well done.
Take just take a minute.
Zach Bond it himself.
Remember this is a guy who's I know, one year deal for about four million dollars to join from the New Orleans Saints and now he's going to the Pro Bowl and he has the green dot on his helmet when Nikobe Deane's not out there. Congratulations Zach Bond, and thank you Jamie for that beautiful, beautiful performance by you and by our editing crew to put that together.
Zach Bond and Peter Schrager links forever.
I needed an eagle screech on GMF this morning. I really did.
I belt with my best try right there.
But nobody says his name better than you do, Peter, So you really sold that one, Zach Bond. But another name that I think people forget about, I will say Nandi Matibuique. The fact that he is going out there, this is the most sacks he's had in the season. Is the second Pro Bowl shout out to him. But Vitavea, Vitavea just I mean, a force up front. He is now in position right now. He's got nine tackle for loss this season. He's playing the best ever in his career. He's one sack away from having a career high in sacks right now. So six sacks already on the season for him, Just a little one more and I think he'll get that.
He'll get that.
But Vietavea is just a guy that you don't want to see. I mean, it is so hard, especially when we get so much weight there in the interior, so to be able to move weight the way he moves weight outstanding.
One month away.
This will all culminate with the Pro Bowl Games presented by Verizon. Of course, Kyle, you were there last year. You're gonna go again this year. Can you give us a little teaser of what we are looking ahead to?
Sure we all do different responsibilities and jobs for the media group throughout the year.
This is one I beg for, I campaign for.
I want to go to the Pro Bowl because as you see the players at their absolute happiest, they are.
So generous, so fun. There's no nerves.
You know, we've covered Super Bowl season openers, drafts, there's stakes, and there's nerves, and there's tension. The players are on vacation. Could not be more generous with their time, could not be happier. I sat there for two hours.
And watched Baker Mayfield sign autographs in Orlando last year. It's so great. And you might say, Okay, it's a flag football game. You know that The fun of that me personally.
They talk so much trash in the game, the stuff that they're saying during flag football. There's no pads, there's no helmet, they're all unencumbered. They talked so much. Tyreek last year was still talking. And then there's these games like what are the linemen do? It's kind of like if you go back to American Gladiators. They make up these competitions that last year Kelsey Jason Kelcey was like strategizing and giving pump up speeches and like really fired up to go against each other. It's high stakes when the competition comes. But other than that, it's like the players are never cool or never happier. And it's a great, great product that I'm thrilled to work for the third year.
So fun to watch.
It's a Asmith production.
Man, it is so fun to watch.
I think now that we've seen the entirety of the Pro Bowl games roster revealed, my favorite position juxtaposition between the AFC and the NFC is the quarterbacks Lamar, Josh and Joe against Jaden, Sam and Jared. That's true. I mean, did you see it coming? You absolutely didn't. Those are your Pro Bowl games. The roster's revealed right here on GMFB. Now we have a whole month to look forward to at Kyle packerbacks.
You know it
