The New York Giants sincerely hope they’ll have another bowl to prepare for in late January/early February.
Either way, at least four players will be “going to Disney World,” regardless of whether the Giants capture victory in Super Bowl LI.
Odell Beckham Jr., Landon Collins, Janoris Jenkins and Dwayne Harris were named to the 2017 Pro Bowl, to be held in Orlando, Fla., Jan. 29. Whereas Beckham is making his third appearance in the NFL’s annual All-Star game, the remaining three are all making their debuts. With the Pro Bowl reverting to an AFC-NFC format this season, after going via drafted “fantasy” teams for the past three seasons, the Giants quartet is third-most among NFC teams, behind only the Atlanta Falcons (six) and Dallas Cowboys (five). Pro Bowl selections are determined via voting by players, coaches and fans, with each group’s collective tally carrying one-third of the final vote.
One of the NFL’s most explosive receivers, and arguably the best at his position, Beckham was more or less a shoo-in for his third selection in as many years in the league. Through Week 16, he ranked in the top five in many major categories with 96 receptions (3rd), 1,323 receiving yards (2nd) and 10 touchdowns (4th). Joining him in the NFC receiving corps will be Julio Jones of Atlanta, Mike Evans of Tampa Bay, and Larry Fitzgerald of Arizona.
