EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – NOVEMBER 06: Jason Kelce
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – NOVEMBER 06: Jason Kelce /

Jason Kelce, C

It’s crazy to think that a few months back Jason Kelce was on the chopping block. The 30-year old center was starting to look worn down over the last couple of seasons. Although there are times he looks like he is declining, he seems to turn things up when the pressure is on. If there is one thing Kelce does well, it’s responding to criticism. He has taken a lot of heat at times for poor blocking and bad snaps, but he sure cleaned everything up this season. 2018 could potentially be Kelce’s third Pro Bowl appearance in his career.

Brandon Brooks, RG

Brandon Brooks has had a quiet season, but for good reason. Normally when a lineman doesn’t get talked about much, that is because they are playing well. This is the case for Brooks. He has been very solid up front and has been quite reliable. With all of the struggles on the left side of the offensive line, Brooks makes it easy to trust the right side. The former third-round pick is looking for the first Pro Bowl nod of his career.

Stefen Wisniewski, LG

Stefen Wisniewski was a late bloomer in the 2017 season. He wasn’t named a starter at the left guard position until the fourth week of the season. Since then, the veteran who is known as “Wiz” has held his own pretty well. Obviously well enough to get on the Pro Bowl ballot. Seeing his name on here was sort of a shocker, but by the way, he has been playing he could definitely get on the team. He still has seven games left to prove that he belongs on an all-star team.

Halapoulivaati Vaitai, LT

Halapoulivaati Vaitai, also known as “Big V” has been a solid substitute on the offensive line for the Eagles. His ability to play the tackle position on either side of the line has been pretty impressive. In only his second year, Big V looks to earn himself a permanent position on the line. With the absence of Peters, this could be Vaitai’s time to shine and lock up a starting position for next season.

Lane Johnson, RT

We’re sure you have probably seen by now, Lane Johnson can dominate Von Miller with one arm. Obviously, things don’t come that easy for Johnson, but they sure seem like it. The bottom line is, Johnson is going to dominate in the NFL for a long time. He has a very good chance of getting into the Pro Bowl for the first time this season. You could probably book his flight right now.
