Predictions for 1 first-time Pro Bowler on all 32 NFL teams
Los Angeles Rams: Leonard Floyd, LB
Last season, Leonard Floyd was a key cog for a Los Angeles Rams defense that won the Super Bowl. Of course, defensive tackle Aaron Donald gets a lot of the love for making the run, but players like Floyd, who notched 9.5 sacks, are a big reason why the team was solid against the run and the pass.
Floyd is going into his seventh season in the NFL and has not missed a single game across the last three years. He will be a key for the Rams once again in 2022, and if he can put together another season where he racks up nearly ten sacks, he could earn his first Pro Bowl nod.
Miami Dolphins: Jaylen Waddle, WR
With the No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Jaylen Waddle, a speedy wideout from Alabama. Waddle was seen as arguably the best wide receiver prospect to come out last year, and he proved that on the field, as he had a breakout season as a rookie.
Waddle appeared in 16 games for the Dolphins, catching over 100 balls, and racking up over 1,000 receiving yards. With Tyreek Hill in the fold in 2022, this could just be the tip of the iceberg for Waddle, who I believe will become one of the best wide receivers in the NFL.
