Predictions for 1 first-time Pro Bowler on all 32 NFL teams
Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence, QB
The Jacksonville Jaguars struggled through a disappointing 2021 NFL season, one that saw their head coach, Urban Meyer, dismissed. The lack of good coaching hurt No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence, but with Doug Pederson now as head coach for Jacksonville, you have to think T-Law will take the next step forward.
For Lawrence, the 2022 season is a big one, as the Jaguars did a nice job stacking talent around him this offseason. Travis Etienne will be healthy, and with a new cast of weapons at the wide receiver position, the sky is the limit.
Kansas City Chiefs: Creed Humphrey, C
During the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Oklahoma center Creed Humphrey in the second round. Widely considered one of the elite interior offensive linemen in the draft class, Humphrey was even better than advertised, and some feel he is one of the best centers in the game going into Year 2.
Humphrey is tasked with protecting the best quarterback in the NFL in Patrick Mahomes, and as a starter from Day 1, he was named to the All-Rookie team. He is a guy the Chiefs are building their offensive line around, and in 2022, he should earn his first Pro Bowl nod.
