Tua has already set career highs in yards (3,238) and touchdowns (24), while tossing just five interceptions.

Tagovailoa has helped Miami win eight of the 12 games he's started, as well as posting a 107.8 QBR for the year - his highest total to date.

#2 - Jaylen Waddle

Tua's teammate Jaylen Waddle could also be set to make his Pro Bowl debut after a stellar 2022 season.

Waddle's 1,117 receiving yards total is only topped by six players, including his Dolphins teammate Tyreek Hill.

Waddle is an excellent receiver in his own right, however, and his five receptions of 40+ yards or more is second in the NFL.

#1 - Jalen Hurts

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is not only a shoo-in for the Pro Bowl, he's very much in the MVP conversation this season.

Hurts has been electric while leading the 13-1 Eagles, passing for 22 touchdowns and rushing for a further 13. His interceptions are also down on last year, as he's become a more reliable player for head coach Nick Sirianni.

Time will tell if the Eagles can make it all the way to the Super Bowl, but should they fail to make it, Hurts will definitely be present at the Pro Bowl.
