The 2022 Pro Bowl is months and months away. As of right now, Chicago Bears players and coaches have their sights set on this upcoming training camp taking place later this summer.
But as fans and analysts of the game, it is hard for us not to look forward to the season and predict how well or how poorly our teams are going to do.
The last few seasons, the Bears haven’t been amongst the top of the NFL in Pro Bowl selections. Odds are the Bears aren’t going to be towards the top this season either.
With a completely new coaching staff and a very young and rebuilding roster, the Bears are more focused on improvement from the team.
The Chicago Bears haven’t sent many players to the Pro Bowl in the past few seasons. However, this young group could have a few surprise names on the ballot come voting time.
Despite low expectations from people around the league, the Bears do have many solid young pieces on both sides of the ball that could end up having huge seasons. With so much turnover this offseason, many new players will be given elevated roles and playing time, possibly leading to more production.
With more players getting significant minute boosts, there really is no saying how many players could have a breakout season. With that being said, here are 3 ‘Pro Bowl dark-horse’ candidates for the 2022 Chicago Bears.
