2 former Alabama running backs in top 5 of Pro Bowl fan votes

Two former Alabama running backs are among the top five vote-getters in the NFL’s first report of fan voting for Pro Bowl games.

Derrick Henry of the Baltimore Ravens is in second place overall with 40,720 votes and Jahmyr Gibbs of the Detroit Lions is in fifth place with 35,637 votes.

Since online voting opened to fans on Monday, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has garnered the most votes with 44,681. Between Henry and Gibbs are Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

That makes Henry the top pick among AFC running backs so far, while Gibbs is second only to Barkley among NFC running backs.

In addition to the five voters with the most votes, the NFL also released the leader at each position in each conference in its initial report. Three other Alabama alumni are leaders:

Marlon Humphrey (Hoover) from the Baltimore Ravens: AFC cornerback
Xavier McKinney of the Green Bay Packers: NFC free safety
Quinnen Williams (Wenonah) from the New York Jets: AFC Defensive Tackle

Fans can vote online for their Pro Bowl favorites through December 23rd.

From December 9th to December 23rd, fans can vote on X (formerly Twitter) by tweeting a player’s first and last name, tagging the player’s Twitter handle, or creating a hashtag using the player’s first and last name. All three methods must contain “#ProBowlVote”. On December 22nd and 23rd, each social media vote counts as two.

NFL players and coaches will make their Pro Bowl selections on December 27th.

One-third of the decisions made by fans, players and coaches are each taken into account when determining the Pro Bowl rosters of the AFC and NFC teams.

The 7-on-7 flag football game featuring the Pro Bowl players will take place on February 2nd at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, culminating a multi-day AFC vs. NFC competition in which All-Stars will showcase their football and non-football skills in a variety of competitions.
