There will be no Pro Bowl this year in the NFL due to COVID-19, but if the game originally scheduled for Jan. 31 in Las Vegas had been played, a pair of former NC State players would have been selected.

Former Pack All-American defensive Bradley Chubbwas selected as an outside linebacker. Chubb, in his third season in the NFL with the Denver Broncos, has had an inspiring comeback after missing last season with a torn ACL. He has 42 tackles, including 7.5 sacks.

Chubb, who had some of his former NC State’s teammates NFL jerseys in the background, talked with the media about earning the nod for the first time in his career.

To few surprise, MVP candidate and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson also made it. Wilson has completed 70.2 percent of his passes this year for 3,806 yards with 37 touchdowns and compiled a 107.1 quarterback rating.

Wilson is second in the NFL in touchdowns throws, third in completion percentage (among those with at least 100 pass attempts), sixth in QB rating and seventh in passing yards. It is the eighth Pro Bowl selection of Wilson’s career.
