3 Realistic expectations for Philadelphia Eagles DT Fletcher Cox in 2020
3. Make it six straight Pro Bowl nods.
Count them up, five Pro Bowl nods and counting and a First-team All-Pro nod in 2018 to go along with the three Second-team All-Pro nods that he earned in 2014, 2015, and 2017. The kudos just keep coming for “91” as he continues in a career that will, no doubt, land him in Canton Ohio one day.
He endured his least productive season since his second as a professional in 2019, and guess what? He found his way onto the Pro Bowl roster anyway. He even scored a touchdown on what was the biggest defensive play in a game where defense often isn’t played.
Take a look.

Pro Bowl voting is often about name recognition and star power, and Cox is a household name among NFL fans now. Last season, he made the Pro Bowl following a disappointing campaign {by Cox standards at least). This year, his production will increase with both Jackson and Hargrave in the lineup with him.

Expect big things and another Pro Bowl nod come season’s end. Let’s just hope he doesn’t have to play in the Pro Bowl because Philly will be playing in a more important game come February. Fingers are crossed everywhere in the Eagles fan base.
