Outside linebacker Khalil Mack, safety Eddie Jackson and special teams ace Cordarrelle Patterson will represent the Bears as 2020 Pro Bowlers, the NFL announced Tuesday. Mack and Patterson were named starters, and the Bears also have three Pro Bowl alternates — NT Eddie Goldman, recognized for the first time; and CB Kyle Fuller and PR Tarik Cohen, both starters in their first Pro Bowls last season.
While the Bears defense again ranks in the top 10 in most statistical categories, it hasn’t matched last year’s prolific playmaking stature, but that didn’t prevent Mack from being voted a Pro Bowler for the fifth consecutive season, with Jackson returning in back-to-back years.
