The New England Patriots learned on Tuesday night that they will have three different players nominated for the 2019 Pro Bowl down in Orlando, Florida. The entire Pro Bowl roster was revealed on television and then later posted online at the NFL’s official website.
Cornerback Stephon Gilmore, inside linebacker Dont’a Hightower, and special teamer Matthew Slater were each nominated to the Pro Bowl.
For Gilmore, it was the soft-spoken CB’s third career Pro Bowl nod – and the second consecutive. He joined the Patriots in 2017 and had a decent year, but really came alive last season and then this season to vault his name atop the rankings and considerations for the best cornerback in the NFL today.
