"Washington had five guys listed among the Top 10 at their position in the early Pro Bowl voting by fans," Kevin Sheehan said, adding that Sam Howell was in the Top 10 "just barely" at 10, Jonathan Allen was eight for defensive tackles, Antonio Gibson for returner was seven, Kam Curl for strong safety was four and Terrell Burgess was No. 1 for special teams player, of course. Wait what? Terrell Burgess?
Sheehan was surprised that Burgess, who has played in eight games this year, was the top vote-getter for special teams position player in the NFL. (And, remember: fan voting accounts for 33.3 percent of the way players are selected to the Pro Bowl with the rest coming from votes by players and coaches.)
"It has not stood out to me," Sheehan said of his play. Burgess, a third-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 out of Utah, has seven tackles (four solo) on the year.
So who actually is the Commanders Pro Bowl guy?
