If there is a Pro Bowl this season, which Tennessee Titans are most likely to make the cut?

With the 2019 season firmly in the rearview, which Tennessee Titans are poised to make the 2020 Pro Bowl (even if they only make it in name alone).

Derrick Henry, RB

Derrick Henry was a first time Pro Bowler last season after leading the league in rushing. He was a man possessed down the stretch last season. In the last regular-season game vs the Houston Texans, Henry put up 211 yards and 3 touchdowns. Henry finished the season with 1,540 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Henry will look to make the Pro Bowl for a second straight season next year. He will be on the field with quarterback Ryan Tannehill throughout a full season for the first time. Henry’s numbers increased noticeably once Tannehill took over as the starting quarterback. In games that Marcus Mariota started, Henry averaged 69.3 yards per game. In games that Ryan Tannehill started, Henry averaged 124.9 yards per game.

I expect that next season with Ryan Tannehill at quarterback full-time, Henry will rush for at least 1,700 yards and 16 touchdowns. If I’m right and Henry produces numbers similar to that or better, he will easily earn a spot on the AFC Pro Bowl roster.
