3 Steelers who should be locks to make the Pro Bowl in 2021

The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely have a few representatives in the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl, but these three players should be a lock to earn this honor.  

Voting for the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl is officially under weigh, and fans are taking to the polls. While some look to cast their votes objectively and with integrity, others will check the boxes for practically every player on their favorite team.

The Pittsburgh Steelers should have a few representatives in the Pro Bowl this year, but I would argue that they certainly don’t deserve as many as they have had in years past. However, a select few are still very deserving. Here are three Steelers players who should essentially be locks to make the Pro Bowl following the NFL playoffs:

Steelers EDGE T.J. Watt

It would be really hard to argue against this one. Even if you believe that Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby have been more deserving to make the squad in the AFC based on their consistent performances week after week, Watt would be the first player off the bench at the very least.

Despite injuries that have held him out of what would equate to over two full games, collectively, Watt is still one of the most productive and disruptive defensive players in the league. While an injury that he suffered in Week 10 against the Lions could hurt his chances for Defensive Player of the Year in 2021, making the Pro Bowl should be a sinch.

When healthy, there are very few non-quarterbacks in the NFL that make a bigger difference than T.J. Watt. Fans from every team should vote accordingly.
