Younghoe Koo, Kyle Pitts among early leaders in Pro Bowl voting

The Atlanta Falcons are 4-6 this season, and as you would expect, only a handful of their players are worthy of Pro Bowl consideration. However, two Falcons currently lead their position groups in the NFC.

Kyle Pitts leads all NFC tight ends with 63,948 Pro Bowl votes. He’s one of just two offensive rookies to lead their respective position group in votes — the other being Bengals rookie wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. Pitts has the third-most receiving yards (635) among NFL tight ends, and is second in yards per catch (14.8). He currently leads the NFC in both categories.

Younghoe Koo leads all NFC kickers with 26,995 votes. While other kickers have been more productive this season, Koo has been extremely valuable to the Falcons, converting on game-winning field goals in three of Atlanta’s four wins this season.

To continue to vote for your favorite Falcons players, visit NFL.com/probowl. Fans can vote on Twitter from December 1-16. To participate, fans must tweet out the first and last name of the player or the player’s Twitter handle, but it only counts if #ProBowlVote is included in the original tweet.
