The second Chargers player to be named to the Pro Bowl is none other than wide receiver Keenan Allen. This selection make it four-straight nominations for The Slayer and this one is as rightfully deserved as the past three.
His 100 catches on the season are good for third in the NFL and his 992 receiving yards are good for 13th. Allen has also recorded eight touchdowns in 2020, which is tied for his career-high set in 2013 while two games remain to be played. Allen is joined by the Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill, the Bills’ Stefon Diggs, and the Titans’ A.J. Brown.
Justin Herbert extends the play and throws a missle to Keenan Allen for the TD. Big-boy play by the rookie.
