The Philadelphia Eagles had six players named to the Pro Bowl. Here’s a look at who was selected and who wasn’t selected:
Carson Wentz, QB, first Pro Bowl selection: Wentz was voted as the starting quarterback for the NFC. Of course, he won't be able to play in the game after tearing his ACL against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. Wentz was playing at an MVP level before the injury, throwing 33 touchdowns to seven interceptions.
Malcolm Jenkins, S, second Pro Bowl selection: Jenkins leads the team with 107 tackles (nine for a loss) to go with 12 passes defensed, two interceptions and one sack.
Zach Ertz, TE, first Pro Bowl selection: Ertz has a career-high eight touchdowns -- tied for the most by an Eagles tight end since the 1970 merger -- and ranks fourth among NFL tight ends in receiving yards (719). He's the first Eagles tight end named to the Pro Bowl since Chad Lewis (2001-03).
Brandon Brooks, G, first Pro Bowl selection: Brooks has been a rock at right guard, helping spark an Eagles rushing attack that leads the conference (140.5 yards per game).
Lane Johnson, T, first Pro Bowl selection: Earning the reputation as the top right tackle in the game, Johnson has had his best season as a pro despite facing a long list of quality pass-rushers that includes Jason Pierre-Paul, Joey Bosa, Ryan Kerrigan, Justin Houston and Von Miller.
Fletcher Cox, DT, third Pro Bowl selection: This is the third straight Pro Bowl nod for Cox. He ranks fourth among NFC defensive tackles with 5.5 sacks.

Jason Kelce, C: Kelce is enjoying a very strong year. He's one of the best in the business when it comes to second-level blocking and diagnosing defenses at the line of scrimmage.
Brandon Graham, DE: The Michigan product has a career-high 9.5 sacks and is a big reason why the Eagles are the top rushing defense (71.5 yards per game) in the NFL.
