We take a look at the AFC's starting roster ahead of the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl.
The NFL Pro Bowl will be live on your television set this Sunday, and we've got your eye on who will be on the field. As always, injuries are opt outs and players who have made it to the Super Bowl will be doing Super Bowl things instead. That doesn't mean there won't be a lot of star power though.
In the AFC, we'll have Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes at quarterbacks, Jonathan Taylor, Nick Chubb and Nazi Harris on the running back, and Tyrek Hill, Stephen Diggs, Dionte Johnson at wide receiver and Mark Andrews and Travis Kells on the tight end.
