Packers who could make first Pro Bowl: Rasul Douglas/Eric Stokes

With Jaire Alexander returning to the field and likely to earn a Pro Bowl selection if his play returns to pre-injury form, it’s highly unlikely one or both of Rasul Douglas and Eric Stokes will get elected. However, crazier things have happened.

The Packers project to have one of the best secondaries in the entire NFL and if they live up to that hype, they should garner a lot of attention across the NFL. Stokes was quietly one of the better cornerbacks last year despite being a rookie. If he can build upon that solid foundation and make more plays on the ball, his votes could skyrocket.

Douglas also had a breakout campaign after being signed off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad roster early in the season. He wanted to return to Green Bay where he won’t be counted on as much with Alexander back. However, that smaller load could lead to bigger results.
