The Los Angeles Rams have Pro Bowlers all over their roster, from Jared Goff to Marcus Peters. They’re certainly not lacking talent when it comes to the most important positions, which is why they should be Super Bowl contenders in 2019.
However, a few players are still waiting to make their first Pro Bowl. Making the NFL’s all-star game is no small feat, but these four players could put together a strong campaign in 2019 and earn a selection.
Here are four Rams players poised to make their first Pro Bowl next season.
FS John Johnson
Johnson stuffed the stat sheet like few other players did last season, finishing the year with 119 tackles, 11 passes defensed, four interceptions and three tackles for loss. Only one other player had at least 110 tackles and four interceptions last season, and it was Shawn Williams of the Bengals.
Obviously, there’s more to being a great safety than high tackle totals and interceptions, but Johnson is undoubtedly one of the best players at his position regardless. He was Pro Football Focus’ seventh-highest graded safety in 2018 and he should only get better in his third NFL season.
