Cooper Kupp fell out of the top 5 for fan voting for the Pro Bowl this week and was overtaken by Davante Adams as the NFC’s top receiver in votes, but he’s still heading to the NFL’s all-star game. Aaron Donald is, too.


The NFL revealed the first five players voted into the Pro Bowl now that the ballots are closed, and the Rams had two of them: Kupp and Donald. Travis Kelce, Tom Brady and Jonathan Taylor were the other three players.

It’s no surprise that Kupp and Donald have both been voted into the Pro Bowl, considering they’ve been the best players at their respective positions all season.

Kupp leads the league with 113 catches, 1,489 yards and 12 touchdowns, going for the first triple crown since Steve Smith accomplished the feat in 2005. He has 12 games of at least seven catches and 90 yards, displaying incredible consistency.

Donald has 10 sacks, 12 tackles for a loss and 20 QB hits, fresh off a game in which he had 14 total pressures against the Cardinals – the most by any player in a game this season. He’s also batted down four passes, which is as many as he had in the last three years combined.

The complete Pro Bowl rosters will be revealed on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET, but the NFL wanted to give fans a sneak peek at which players have already been voted into the game – which will be played in Las Vegas on Feb. 6.
