For the third time in the last four years, Texans offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil is Pro Bowl bound.
The NFL announced the 2023 Pro Bowl rosters on Wednesday night and Tunsil was voted to be the starting left tackle for the AFC.
Tunsil is the only Texan to earn the honor on a Houston team that has the worst record in the NFL at 1-12-1.
"One of the best offensive linemen in football," head coach Lovie Smith said via the team's website. "We talk about our guys, we don't get a chance to vote for any of our guys. If I was on an opposing team, I would definitely vote him in. He's that good."
According to Pro Football Focus, Tunsil has the best pass blocking grade (91.3) among all linemen in the NFL this season.
This year's Pro Bowl will feature a new format in the form of a flag football game, rather than the traditional scrimmage we've seen in years past.
In addition to the flag football game, there will also be various skills competitions that will “showcase Pro Bowlers’ football and non-football skills in unique competitions.”
