There are a number of players in Green Bay who could potentially make their first career Pro Bowl. Regardless, the prospect of Jaire Alexander making the Pro Bowl is certainly not far-fetched. The former first-rounder set the bar high with a stellar rookie campaign after finishing with 66 tackles, 11 pass deflections, and an interception.

It is safe to say that the team will want him to kick things up a notch in the secondary. It will be interesting to see if he can follow through on his goals for Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in 2019.
