10 NFL players who will make their first Pro Bowl in 2020

Kyler Murray – Arizona Cardinals

The 2019 first overall pick is viewed as a dark horse MVP candidate by many. For Murray to be in that conversation the Cardinals would likely need to become the cream of the best division in football, the NFC West.

Given the competition the Cardinals will face in the division and the issues that still exist on their defense, that does not seem a likely scenario. However, should Murray make the progress most expect him to after a 2019 that saw him win Offensive Rookie of the Year, he will be in the mix for Pro Bowl honors in the NFC.

Murray will need to improve his decision-making after tossing 12 interceptions as a rookie. Improvement in that area should come with experience while continuity on the offensive line will be key for the former Heisman Trophy winner in his second year in Kliff Kingsbury’s system.

The X-factor in Arizona, though, is the addition of DeAndre Hopkins. Murray has the deep ball and accuracy to quickly build a rapport with arguably the best contested-catch receiver in football.

Murray and Hopkins are poised to become one of the most dynamic quarterback-wide receiver tandems in the NFL. With the weapons at his disposal and his remarkable abilities as a runner, a year-two jump and end-of-season accolades appear inevitable for Murray.
