Fan voting for this year’s Pro Bowl Games has begun and one Arizona Cardinals player has taken an early lead at his position.
It should be no surprise that it is safety Budda Baker.
Baker is the leading vote-getter at strong safety in the NFC, the league announced this week.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson leads all players in fan votes with 44,681, followed by Ravens running back Derrick Henry (40,729 votes), Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (40,602 votes), Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (36,574 votes) and Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs (35.637 votes).
The Lions, Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs are the three teams whose players have received the most fan votes.
Baker is having a fine season and it would be no surprise to see him make a sixth straight Pro Bowl.
Fan voting continues until Dec. 23.
