Green Bay’s seven Pro Bowl nods are the most original selections the organization has produced since 2011. Six of those seven were selected as starters, which is the most for the Packers since the Vince Lombardi era.
Aaron Rodgers was picked for his ninth Pro Bowl and Davante Adams is the first Green Bay receiver to make four straight Pro Bowls since James Lofton made six in a row from 1980-85.
David Bakhtiari made his third Pro Bowl while Elgton Jenkins earned his first nomination this season.
On the defensive end, Jaire Alexander made his first Pro Bowl and became the youngest Packer since Eddie Lacy in 2013 to make the Pro Bowl. Za’Darius Smith made his first Pro Bowl as a starter after recording 11.5 sacks and three forced fumbles for Green Bay this season.
Aaron Jones is the only non-starter of the bunch and he is just 32 yards away from another 1,000-yard season on the ground after missing two games in 2020.
