The 2020 Pro Bowl rosters have been announced, and the San Francisco 49ers will be represented for the third consecutive year. The following players have been selected to the NFC squad in the NFL's annual all-star game, which will take place on January 26, 2020, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
The four 49ers players selected were named starters and are the most since the 2013 season when the team was represented by 10 total players. Of course, the hope is that none of the players selected will be available to play because San Francisco will be preparing for the Super Bowl.
The Pro Bowl selection process consists of votes from fans, players, and coaches, with each group accounting for one-third of the process.
Nick Bosa, Defensive End
This is Bosa's first Pro Bowl selection. The rookie has registered 41 combined tackles, nine sacks, three passes defensed, an interception, and a forced fumble through 14 games this season. The 49ers made him the No. 2 overall selection in April.
Bosa is the first 49ers rookie to earn a trip to the Pro Bowl since safety Eric Reid did so as an alternate in 2014.
Kyle Juszczyk, Fullback
This is Juszczyk's fourth consecutive Pro Bowl selection. The seventh-year player has carried the football three times for seven yards while adding 18 receptions for 167 yards with a receiving touchdown through 10 starts this season. The fullback is an integral part of the 49ers' No. 2 ranked rushing attack.
George Kittle, Tight End
This is Kittle's second consecutive Pro Bowl selection. The third-year player is the 49ers' leading receiver and has registered 73 receptions for 888 yards with four touchdowns through 12 starts. Kittle set a new record for the most receiving yards (2,780) by a tight end in his first three seasons.
Richard Sherman, Cornerback
This is Sherman's fifth Pro Bowl selection and first as a member of the 49ers. The ninth-year player has registered 53 combined tackles, 11 passes defensed, three interceptions, and a touchdown through 13 starts this season.
By being named to the Pro Bowl on the original ballot, 49ers CB Richard Sherman earned a league-high $1M incentive and increased his 2020 base salary by $1M.
An excellent day for still one of the league's best corners.
